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.

I would suggest you go to the blog below. Grown up women are posting their experiences and some of the posts have links to good articles
with a lot of good information/facts. Educating yourself will empower you to have control over your own body. You can say "NO" to these
exams!

read the blog and tell your girl friends about the blog...You are way too young to be having these exams...even 21 is too young. Not only are you too young but cervical cancer
is very rare (only 1% of very sexually active women will get it). Virgins can not get it since it is a sexually transmitted virus and
the rest have less than 1% chance of getting it. Papsmears are also unreliable because they produce a lot of false positive
results which then leads to tests where they take a piece of your cervix out, causing women physical damage and emotional trauma.

Do NOT be talked into (which is a form of force) having genital exams as part of your annual physical, pap smears, or
pelvic exams if you are not sexually active, or not having symptoms down there, or are not comfortable having someone remove your
underwear, spreading your legs open, etc.

Doctors are not gods...you will not get struck down by lightning if you say "NO" to these exams. It's your body, not the doctor's or
nurse's body. You can say "NO' to the doctor or nurse when it comes to genital exams, pap smears, and pelvic exams (even as a kid).

Girls in our country are brainwashed into thinking that having these violating and humiliating exams is part of being
female and you'll just have to live with it, but that is a lie. Many women do not have these exams because they are not sick in that
part of their body and because the exams are so violating. If they do have a problem down there, then they go to the doctor.

I pretty much told any doctors I have seen to F'off...that I do not allow doctors to examine my privates. I don't allow them to remove
my underwear, actually I refuse to undress below shorts since the only reason they would want me down to my underwear is easier access
to my private parts which I won't allow...period! My a'hole doctor actually lied to me saying that I wouldn't be allowed in high school
without a genital exam. So I told him "I guess I won't be going to high school then!". Well, guess what, I'm in high school without the
exam, though I was perfectly ready not to go to high school if it came to that because I refuse to be forced into that kind of exam.
So Expect that doctors will try to scare or bully you into these exams, but know that they won't and can't force you into these type
of exams.

Question the system and fight back for your bodily rights!
