    Good choice, but not if you're kissing anyone. :)

    Are they calling it the 'ma' smear? This post was edited by Kittigate at July 12, 2021 8:37 AM MDT

    Yeah it's called a cervical screening and they changed it back in 2017... Unless your a gynecologist why would you even care? This post was edited by Echooos at July 12, 2021 1:11 PM MDT

    "Pap" is short for "Papanicolaou",  Try saying that every time instead of pap.

    I knew nothing about this.  I never cared what it was called but it should have a name more closely aligned with cold pinch.
