No. Pap tests, also known as Pap smears, look for any cell changes in your cervix, which could lead to cervical cancer. Cell changes are often caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is an STD. But Pap tests only test for the cell changes, not whether or not you have HPV.

Does STI show up in smear test?

Cervical screening tests help to prevent cervical cancer by checking the health of the entrance of the womb (cervix) and detecting abnormal cells. The tests do not include tests for chlamydia or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhoea.

What can show up on a smear test?

The cervical screening test checks for human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and changes in the cells covering the neck of your womb. These changes could later develop into cervical cancer if they aren't treated.
