Pap Smear



What happens to me during a Pap Smear?

A pap test is done by touching the cervix with a soft brush and a special pap stick. Your provider will swab your cervix to collect a few cells. These cells will be examined under a microscope and screened for possible problems. For tests and more informatinon, call toll-free (866) 711-1717 or (901) 725-1717.
