Answers:

Well my mom always told me that it's best to do it after you start having sex. You don't really need one if your not sexually active, unless you have a family history of things like cervical cancer.
Unless you think there's something wrong or you're in discomfort, don't get one until your either sexually active. Some people say 21, but I honestly think it would be rather uncomfortable to be a virgin and get a pap. I'd just wait.



It would be good for you to go ahead and get on and then after your first one every year after that. Pap test aren't for females who are just sexually active. They help detect make sure everything is in working order. They help make sure you don't have cyst etc... It's good for you to be a virgin and very commendable but still have a yearly done on yourself! Good Luck!



Absolutely!

Pap tests are good things to regularily have. It's no different than going to the dentist once a year. They check for abnormalties, and the big thing now is cervical cancer. It wouldn't hurt to have it done. I believe once you turn 18, or have sex for the first time (whichever comes first) that you should begin having them.



I don't think that you need one until you start having sex or reach age 21, but some say age 18.
