To obtain a pap smear the doctor takes "smears" of tissue and fluid from your vaginal walls and cervix.  Those smears are stained on a glass slide and then looked at under a  microscope.  If the examiner sees any cellular irregularity, you are asked to return and retest.  It could be cancer, it could be an infection, it could be an overgrowth of yeast, it could be any number of things.  Don't jump to conclusions, just go and repeat the test.

Only a medical professional can tell for sure. It could be an STD or it could be non-specific urethritis.

Probably not, but if you're having unprotected sex(no condom), then you need to get tested.  You can get this done free at a clinic or a GLAD chapter.

Most docs will ask your mother to wait in the waiting room (especially with you being 17). If they don't, ask the nurse to tell the doctor to ask her to step out.  Say you need to go to the bathroom or something and then tell her. He is NOT allowed to tell your mother you had sex. He may just tell her that the exam went fine and he found no problems.  Anything you tell him is confidential. However, he will write his findings in the chart..if your mother wants a copy of the chart, she can freely get it since you are a minor. However, they use medical terms and unless your mother knows terminology, she may not understand it.\n\nI know your mother loves you and wants to know what's going on with you. Talk to her...You think she doesn't want to but from a parent's perspective  she does

I would go and get tested. I say yes there is a chance to still get it. Just because the person didn't have symptoms when you slept together dosen't mean they didn't have it. So please go and get tested. Good luck to you.

I have had sex while on the pill and not gotten pregnant, so odds as slim that you will. However it is possible. So if you are concerned you can get tested at your local clinic.

If you are having unprotected sex with a sex partner you should be tested regularly.  sadly we don't know the history of the other, and they may not know if or what they may have if they have been having sex with someone else.\n\nAnd many don't have any signs to let you know.\n\nOf course always having protected sex would take away most of the worry.

I am a genetic scientist ı am currently working in a diangnostic laboratory. We have a HPV test. Generally HPV can be seen in the cervics of Woman. However it is contagious virus so it can be seen in the man also. So most probably you have HPV or he had a sexual relationship with other woman.(sorry for this possibility)\nYou can ask additional questions to me via e-mail.

YOU SHOULD REALLY GO TO YOUR GYNO IF IT SMELLS.....IT MIGHT BE A YEAST INFECTION OR AN STD.

About gyn, yes, you actually take off your underwear.  Don't go alone if you feel so insecure (acceptable reaction, but you have to let him or her do the job of examining you and helping you with your trouble) The exam can change a bit if you are sexually active or virgin, or depending on your problem, but don't feel surprised if you are respectfully, professionally and gently inserted an speculum or your labia are separated to examine or if your breasts are checked for lumps.

really you cant.  you have to ask her and take her word for it.  people will tell you a lot of crap on here but it comes down to the fact that you cannot tell for sure.  a doctor could tell if she has a hymen but that is not even 100%.  if she doesnt have one....who knows?  she's the only one.\ndont believe any stupid answeres on here.  people are full of crap.\nBut... if she lets you put your finger in, she probably has let someone else too.   USE A CONDOM!!

Of course, there is no way to know if a new partner has a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Asking him is the most direct way to find out; however, he may not know himself, as he may not have noticed symptoms or even have them. \n\nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, there have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. According to the CDC, no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, but it is believed to be less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. Of course, the risk (at least statistically speaking) goes up if the recipient of oral sex has a known infection. \n\nRich Aranow, MD, staff physician at the Warmline, the National Clinicians' HIV Telephone Consultation Service, says general medical opinion holds that oral sex is considered an inefficient method of transmitting HIV. \n\nThe risk of oral transmission of HIV appears to be low for single acts of oral sex, according to Emory University researchers who have reviewed studies. "Experience with oral transmission alone as a cause is still too small to be able to come up with an estimate,'' says Richard Rothenberg, MD, one of the Emory researchers. \n\nNevertheless, any chance of being infected may be too high for some people. Furthermore, according to two reviews published in the February and April 1998 issues of the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections, oral sex can also be a route of transmission for other sexually transmitted diseases. \n\nTherefore, if you're in a monogamous (single-partner) relationship, have both tested HIV negative for a sufficiently long period for the virus to have shown up, and neither of you has been diagnosed with another STD, it's relatively safe to swallow semen. \n\nIf not, you have some personal decisions to make. You might decide to use condoms consistently and correctly every time you have vaginal and anal intercourse and not worry about using them during oral sex, because the risk of transmission is lower with oral sex. Or you might want to use condoms for oral sex as well. \n\nResearch by the CDC has shown the effectiveness of latex condoms in preventing the transmission of HIV and other STDs. Condoms greatly reduce the risk of both bacterial and viral transmission during any type of sex if your partner is infected. \n\nSTD

For women they do a pap and take some samples.  This does not test for all std's tho- for some you will have to get a little blood drawn.  REMEMBER:  HPV does NOT show up on tests unless you have the type on your cervix or you have visual signs!!  You can be tested and still have an std!  So always be careful.  Most people with hpv will never know they have it.

Not always.  If there's obvious injury to your hymen (it's torn and healed, for example) or your sexual contant was recent, it'll be obvious.

Wouldn't the medical department people be able to tell you this?

Epididymitis is often a complication from bacterial infection of the urinary tract, so UTI is a pretty generic diagnosis. The doctor probably ran some tests to determine the actual pathogen (gonorrhea, chlamydia, assorted NGU, etc.). The results of these tests will be disclosed to your partner (the actual patient). Can a doctor give a diagnosis with three possible sources? ABSOLUTELY. Why? because only your partner knows what really happened, and people sure like to LIE when it comes to STDs.\n\nAs for STDs, a few of them are reportable depending on your location (which you neglected to state). When any disease gets reported to the health department, we keep that information confidential. Only if the person is deemed a significant risk to the public's health (such as in the case of TB or some STDs) will we send investigators to intervene. for example, this can include house calls by nurses and investigators. But usually, STD risks are considered to be caveat emptor -- meaning "buyer beware, you should be smart enough to get your own dang condoms." If you are afraid that your partner's protected health information will be leaked all over because his disease may be reportable, stop fretting. We would be fired, sacked and have the pants sued off us if we were to abuse that information.\n\nAnd if you want to know about your partner's diagnosis, ask your partner. He is the one who would get that info. You cannot ask the doctor for it directly, even if you are a legal spouse.
