A Pap smear is meant to find changes in the cells of the cervix that could indicate cancer or a pre-cancerous condition. Occasionally, the pap smear will also indicate that there's an imbalance in the normal bacteria of the vagina, but it is not done for that purpose. A pap smear itself can't test for bacterial STDs in the vagina. If you want to know if you have chlamydia or gonorrhea, ask for those tests by name.
