Honestly, I had similar fears a few years back! It's super normal to worry. The main test is a Pap smear, sometimes they do an HPV test too. It's quick and usually not painful, just a bit uncomfortable. Don't panic, just book an appointment with your gynaecologist, they'll guide you perfectly.

Besides the medical tests, keeping your body healthy through good diet and exercise is always a plus. It builds overall immunity. But for direct testing, a doctor visit is non-negotiable. They'll tell you about the Pap test and maybe an HPV test.
