Yes, you can have herpes and still have a normal pap smear. Herpes affects pap smears only very rarely -- only if the patient is having an outbreak on the cervix at the time of the test.

If you have never had a pap smear before or if it is close to the time you are due for your annual exam, most doctors get the pap smear while you are in the office and being examined.
