Pap smears can't detect chlamydia, and a normal Pap doesn't mean you don't have chlamydia. A pap smear looks for Cervical cancer and precancerous problems. If you need testing for chlamydia, ask for the test by name.

A bladder infection will not affect the accuracy of a pap smear. It may be more uncomfortable, however, to have a speculum exam if your bladder is sore.

How can you have four years of normal pap tests and this one comes back positive for chlamydia?

A pap smear does not detect chlamydia. A pap smear can not detect chlamydia, and a negative Pap smear does not indicate that you don't have chlamydia. So, yes, it's possible to have a Pap test for four years and not know you have chlamydia if your health care provider didn't do a specific test for chlamydia. Did your health care provider actually test for chlamydia in the prior four years? First check with your health care provider, and then you can try to figure out how you might have contracted it, if in fact you had a negative test as soon as a year ago.
