<s>[INST] Can a uti cause a positive Pap smear? Thursday I go to the Drs for a pap and I know for a damn well fact I have a uti. It hurts when I pee and there is blood coming so I am drinking a lot of water and cranberry juice and a friend gave me 4 500 mg of amoxicillin. I have had sex within the past couple of days with condoms and I know that s what caused it because every time I use them this happens. I just want to make sure it won t cause a positive Pap. [/INST] UTI and taking antibiotics such as amoxicilin can cause the appearance of inflamation in the PAP smear. However it doesn't cause a positive smear test. </s>
