Haledon, NJ Pap Smear at Urgent Care Near You
A Pap smear test, (shortened from Papanicolaou, named after the scientist who pioneered the procedure) is a screening tool used to test for cancer and precancerous cells in the cervix. This is important because early detection gives the patient the best chances of successful treatment.
Cervical cancer is primarily caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Many times, people do not know they have the virus and it will lie dormant in the body. However, a Pap smear is important even for individuals who are not sexually active, because not all cancers are caused by HPV.

What's the Difference Between Urgent Care and Emergency Room Services?
Urgent care is for medical conditions that require prompt attention but do not pose an immediate threat to your health or life. Here is a simple rule of thumb: if your medical issue(s) are life threatening, call 911, or go directly to a hospital emergency room. If not, an urgent care center such as AFC is an excellent alternative.
