Pap smears do not detect HIV. A Pap smear test is used to check for the presence of precancerous or cancerous cells in a sample taken from the cervical disc and canal. If you would like to be tested for HIV, it is appropriate to have a blood test in a diagnostic laboratory, home tests are also available at GdziePoLek online:
