HPV and Pap co-test
I recently got my HPV and Pap co-test. After collecting the samples, the doctor asked me of I applied any vaginal cream. I did, but only one vulva and not inside the vagina. Will this affect my results?

It may affect your result because you think that you applied the cream on the vulva but it might have gone into the vagina.
Under such a situation you should have asked for a fresh appointment after 3 days.
