I’m sorry slumberkitty I know these are no fun. You probably haven’t been tested it’s kinda a new thing and they do it at the same time as the pap. I didn’t do it for years because the cancer they check for is caused by hpv usually and I had never had sex. I think they still recommend doing it but it never made sense to me from a microbiology/cancer point of view. This is of course my personal opinion and hasn’t been medically validated.

Anyway I hope you can get through it and then not need it done for a while.
