The current condition of the Covid-19 pandemic needs special attention, especially in providing optimal health services to the community. An effective screening that can be used is Pap-smear to detect precancerous lesions. This study was to see the description of the Pap-smear in women at risk of cervical cancer. This study was descriptive that conducted with 150 women of childbearing age. The results show that age of first sexual intercourse above 20 years, no multiple partners, never smoked, husband, does not smoke, parity was 1-2, does not use contraception, does not use vaginal soap, uses modern sanitary napkins, menstrual age is over 12 years, no history families with cancer and the majority of pap-smear results are normal.
