The Process
Step-by-Step Service Flow
Step
1
Schedule Your Appointment
Book online or by phone at a time that works for your schedule same-week availability with evening and weekend slots included.
Step
2
Complete Your Intake
We review your cervical screening history, prior results, HPV status, and any symptoms before the visit begins so the appointment starts with your full picture, not a blank form.
Step
3
Screening & Sample Collection
A licensed Illinois provider performs your Pap smear and HPV co-test in a private clinical setting explained at every step, handled efficiently, and never rushed past questions you came in with.
Step
4
Results & Follow-Up Plan
Results are reviewed directly with you by your provider what each finding means, what the next step is, and what your ongoing screening interval should be based on your specific results and history.
How Quickly Can I Be Seen?
Same-day appointments are available in most cases, with same-day scheduling when timing allows. Once your intake is reviewed, you meet with a licensed Illinois provider for your screening visit. Results are communicated directly by your provider not posted to a portal without context.
Your care team will also address:
- What your Pap and HPV results mean and what they don’t mean
- Whether your result requires a colposcopy, repeat testing, or simply a standard follow-up interval
- What HPV-positive results mean for your long-term cervical health and what monitoring looks like going forward
- Whether your current screening interval is appropriate for your age, history, and prior results
- Any symptoms unusual discharge, spotting, or pelvic discomfort that came in alongside your screening reason
The goal is not just to collect a sample and send it to a lab. The goal is to leave the appointment understanding your cervical health and what your results mean for it.
Am I Eligible for a Pap Smear & HPV Test?
- Women 21 and older are eligible for cervical cancer screening
- Pap smear alone is recommended every 3 years for women aged 21 to 29
- Pap smear with HPV co-testing is recommended every 5 years for women aged 30 to 65
- Women with prior abnormal results, HPV history, or immunocompromising conditions may require more frequent screening we determine your individual interval at the visit
- Women who have had a hysterectomy may still require screening depending on the type of procedure and cervical health history we review your specific situation
Our Pap Smear & HPV Testing Services Include
Pap Smear Screening
A cervical cell sample collected during a brief in-office procedure and sent to a lab for analysis. We explain what we’re looking for, what the procedure involves, and what results mean before anything happens not after the sample is already collected.
HPV Co-Testing
HPV testing identifies the presence of high-risk HPV strains associated with cervical cancer development strains that can be present without any symptoms and without an abnormal Pap result. We determine whether co-testing is appropriate for your age and screening history rather than applying it universally.
Abnormal Result Management
An abnormal Pap or positive HPV result is not a diagnosis it is a finding that requires the right next step. We explain what your specific result means, what follow-up is clinically indicated, and what the timeline looks like so you are not left interpreting a lab result without clinical context.
Colposcopy Referral & Coordination
When results indicate that a colposcopy is the appropriate next step, we coordinate that referral directly explaining what the procedure involves, what it looks for, and what to expect rather than handing you a referral slip and leaving the rest to you.
HPV Vaccination Counseling
For eligible patients, we provide counseling on HPV vaccination as a preventive measure against the strains most associated with cervical cancer what the vaccine covers, who benefits from it, and whether it applies to your situation.
Ongoing Cervical Health Monitoring
Cervical health is not a single result it is a pattern tracked over time. We establish your appropriate screening interval based on your results and history, and maintain that monitoring consistently so nothing falls through the gap between appointments.
Common Situations That Bring Chicago Women to Us
- Overdue for a Pap smear with no consistent provider ordering one
- A previous abnormal result that was never adequately explained or followed up on
- HPV-positive result from a prior screening and uncertainty about what it means going forward
- Wanting cervical screening handled by a provider who explains results rather than posting them to a portal
- Establishing consistent cervical health monitoring after years without a regular provider
- Symptoms alongside routine screening spotting between periods, unusual discharge, or pelvic discomfort
- Wanting Pap smear and HPV co-testing handled at the same visit as a broader well woman exam
- A previous screening experience that felt rushed, unexplained, or left questions unanswered
- Uncertainty about whether the screening interval recommended elsewhere is actually appropriate for their history
- Wanting a provider who will still be available when results come back not whoever happens to be on call

The Most Question We Got so Far
Still have questions? Reach out we’re just a message away.
I got an abnormal Pap result. Does that mean I have cervical cancer?
No — and that distinction matters. An abnormal Pap result means cervical cells showed changes worth monitoring or investigating further. The vast majority of abnormal results are caused by HPV and resolve without treatment. What an abnormal result means for your specific situation depends on the type and degree of change found — which is exactly what we walk you through directly rather than leaving you to interpret a lab report alone.
How often do I actually need a Pap smear?
Current clinical guidelines recommend a Pap smear every three years for women between 21 and 29, and a Pap smear with HPV co-testing every five years for women between 30 and 65. Those intervals change if you have a history of abnormal results, HPV, or certain health conditions. We determine the right interval for your specific history at your visit rather than defaulting to annual screening regardless of what your results suggest.
What is the difference between a Pap smear and an HPV test?
A Pap smear collects cervical cells and checks for abnormal changes that could indicate precancerous or cancerous development. An HPV test checks for the presence of high-risk HPV strains that are associated with those changes. The two tests look for different things and are often performed together — called co-testing — for a more complete picture of cervical health. We determine which combination is appropriate for your age and history at the visit.
I tested positive for HPV. What happens now?
A positive HPV result means a high-risk strain was detected — not that you have cervical cancer or that you will develop it. Most HPV infections clear on their own within one to two years. What a positive result means for your monitoring schedule and follow-up depends on your Pap result alongside it, your age, and your screening history. We walk through all of that directly at your results visit rather than leaving you to piece it together from a notification.
