I am not a girl so I have obviously never had a papsmere, but I know that it doesn't matter if your a virgin or not.

Agreed
I doubt any medical procedure depends on whether your a virgin or not (:

A Pap smear is a diagnostic test for cervical cancer, they take a swipe of skin cells from your cervix (mouth of uterus) and examine them under a microscope.

Typically, this is not done during early adolescence, as cervical cancer is really rare (if not unheard of) during early adolescence and before sexual activity begins. So being a young teen, and a virgin, means you wouldn't need this diagnostic test.

Sam's right. Typically a woman will start getting pap smears at the gyno once she's 21, or once she's been sexually active for 3+ years, whichever comes first. However, if you already know that you have a weakened immune system due to chemotherapy, organ transplant, or steroid use, as well as if you are HIV-positive, you should get one every year regardless of your age.
