It amazes me how many women don't know about this, and it also makes me wonder WHY. Why are doctors not telling their patients this? It's pretty important, because it's very likely to mess up your pap results, and that means you get all nice and scared because they call and say "Your pap was abnormal" and you get to be all worried and nervous for the next week or two until they schedule you for a new appointment.

And it all could've been avoided if the ladies were warned ahead of time not to have sex for 24-48 hours!
