The next questions will ask you about your Pap and HPV screening history. A Pap test checks your cervix for abnormal cells that could turn into cervical cancer.


During a Pap test, an instrument is inserted into the vagina. This widens the vagina so that the upper portion of the vagina and the entire cervix can be seen. Your doctor then uses a small spatula or brush to gently scrape the surface of the cervix in order to pick up cells which are then examined under the microscope.


An HPV test checks your cervix for the virus (HPV) that can cause abnormal cells and lead to cervical cancer. The HPV test can find the HPV virus by testing cells collected at the same time as a Pap test.
