hi im im just wondering what peoples opinions on having a pap test if your a virgin. im 28 and am a virgin and have never had a pelvic exam or pap test or smear test as we call it in the uk. my main reason for this is simply out of fear or the embarrasment of going. But i have never mentioned this to the doc or asked if i really need it. it seems in america there is much more emphisis on pelvic exams etc starting from a young age where as here in uk its not really recomended till in your 20's or if your sexually active at a ealier age. so it gets quite confusing as to how important it really is. But i was just wondering is it reall nessary unless your sexually active.
