A little bit if info for anyone who might wonder in the future (and since you are so active on the forums auntiejessi!) .. I called the doctor's office and they let me know that the test will indeed differentiate between a yeast infection and other abnormalities. If the only abnormality is a yeast infection, it was just come up as yeast on the test.
Thank youuuu! I'm just going to see m'lady in two days and I want to be able to be informed and not put her in any possibly harmful situation . Thank you though, I appreciate it as always auntiejessie!
Well, she went ahead and did it because it might not make it abnormal, and the results can tell the difference usually between something mild, like yeast, or an HPV infection.
Don't worry so much, ok? You don't even know if its going to be abnormal.

I'm just curious as to why she would go ahead with the pap when she knew I had a yeast infection and didn't mention anything to me about the test probably/possibly coming back abnormal because of it.... It will also make me feel like I should not be intimate with anyone until it's absolutely confirmed that the only abnormality was from the yeast infection.
Its not a definite, but its a good possibility.
If it does, you at least know why. Your doctor will probably schedule a follow up in 3 or 6 months (this is routine, no cause for worry), and go from there.
