Andi - like your niece, I also have never been to a GYN !!! I have my internals and pap smears done by my family doctor. If she thinks there is a problem, then I get referred to a specialist ( a gyno ). I have normal paps, normal internals, no symptoms of anything, so no GYN. Now, if I insisted, she would refer me to one, because of the BC.
