hi there
hi there
I am a 24 year old female who has never had a pap smear, i was told i should have had one at the age 21, however i don' t see the need as i have not had any sexual intimacy. Do you think im taking a risk by not going for a pap smear or should i only go for one once i become sexually active?
thanks
