To ensure that your Pap Smear/HPV Test is most effective, follow these tips prior to your test:

• Avoid intercourse, douching or using any vaginal medicines or spermicidal foams, creams or jellies for two days before having a Pap Smear/HPV Test, as these may wash away or obscure abnormal cells.
• The best time to schedule a Pap Smear/HPV Test is between 10 and 20 days after the first day of the last menstrual period.
