Hi,
Positive pap smear test means that your doctor has found abnormal cells in the cervix. It does not always mean that the person has cervical cancer. There can be many other causes for positive pap smear, infection being one of them. That's why your doctor has prescribed a course of antibiotics. Your wife must complete the course of treatment and go back to the doctor. He may like to repeat the test.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shashi Dangwal, Pulmonologist
