You should be fine. I had sex the night before my pap smear and was freaking out about it because I didn't know how it would affect the results. When I went into my appointment I just let my doctor know that I had sex the night before so they would know, but my doctor said it's no big deal and it's doesn't make any difference on the tests. You sould be fine, although your doctor might be peeved at you for not following her instructions.

Yes. The only time you can't get a papsmear is when you're on your period.

You can still have the pap smear, but you should listen to your doctor. The presence of sperm and ejaculation can alter your test results. Also, it is said that the penis pushes different bacerias into the vagina. You can't test positive for an std if you don't have one.
