Abnormal Papanicolaou smears found in victims of sexual assault

V L Seltzer et al. J Reprod Med. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

Four women, at the time of treatment for rape, were concurrently found to have abnormal Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. It is suggested that all women who seek emergency care after sexual assault have Pap smears taken at that time if there is no record of a negative Pap smear within the preceding six months.
