Swab taken from urethra (pee hole), which was a bit sore but over quickly. Blood test for HIV, not too bad. Urine collected as well. Over in a flash and results take 2 weeks to be ready, the wait is worse than anything else.

 I think these links will help people understand what might happen at the gynecologist's office. Be sure to be completely truthful about any sexual activity and your family history.

Its much better for a girl! Just a swab test. Similar to having a smear.
Doesn't hurt.
