In Smear test results, a 'negative' finding indicates that no abnormalities, infections, or precancerous changes were detected in the examined cells. A 'positive' finding, on the other hand, indicates the presence of abnormalities in the cells (e.g., infection, inflammation, or precancerous changes) and typically requires further evaluation or additional tests. While more detailed and specific classifications are used nowadays instead of these general terms, these are their fundamental meanings.
