No. A PAP is a scraping of cells from the mouth of the womb, or decrease component to the cervix, with a sampling from the cervical canal. A knowledgeable gynecologist would possibly under no circumstances get on your larger cervix.

The Pap is a screening test for cervical cancer, usually caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). At the same time will a woman is "in the position," the doctor will test for STD's, yeast, and bacterial vaginosis. Sometimes these are detected on the Pap smear as well.

I don't know if you're joking or not, but men don't have a cervix, thus can't have the virus.

No, it just tests for abnormal cells.
