Expert answer:
Yes. The virgin woman can take the preventive exam because it is possible to collect the vaginal material without breaking the hymen.
In this case, before the examination, it is necessary to inform the virginity of the health professional so that he or she can perform adequate collection techniques.
The preventive examination is offered free of charge in the Family Health Units (USF) and in the Basic Health Units (UBS) and can be performed by medical and nursing health professionals.
