A pap test is collecting cells off the lower end of your cervix. It's used to detected abnormalities in the cells which could indicate some conditions, like infection, pre-cancer, or cancer. It usually means that further testing is necessary and your doctor will arrange this with you. It does not mean you have cancer.
