A pap smear only takes a couple of minutes.
The pap test is done to make sure there are no cancerous tissues present on the cervix. I have seen the test come back sooner if the doctor requests it sooner It could take 6-8 weeks to produce results.

There's not really a standard answer for that. There are too many variables. If your health care provider asks the lab for a rush, then it would likely be no more than three business days. Most providers can tell you the usual timeframe, just ask.

STD test results differ in their wait times. Some are immediate, like a wet smear for trichomonas or a rapid HIV test. Others take a day or so, like syphilis or gonorrhea. Others may take a few days, like hepatitis testing.

Results from a HPV test will come back within 7 to 12 days from when it was submitted. Cervical biopsy specimens or cervical swabs are used in order to test for HPV.
