All girls should have at least a baseline PAP Exam (with or without PAP smear). especially before becoming sexually active and discuss Birth Control. All females after becoming sexually active should have a PAP smear. If a smear is normal, it is you can typically go just once a year. If abnormal, you may need treatment with creams or in-office treatment.

There is no reason that a Pap smear is needed before getting Depo Provera. Starting on hormonal birth control does not require a pelvic exam or pap smear. All expert recommendations adn guidelines clearly state that a woman should start hormonal birth control as she desires, with or without a pelvic and pap.

Getting a Pap smear and getting depo provera are two separate issues. You can certainly have one without the other.
