How do you get the pill?

I was reading up on the pill and got a bit confused as to what the process is for getting the pill.

I haven't read anywhere what exactly they do to prescribe the pill, what tests are performed , if at all, to decide the pills? If you haven't had sexual intercourse, does it effect how they do the tests?

If you would like to take birth control pills, you'll need to see a doctor.

Thank you very much, you actually answered another question I had with the pap smear test with the speculum and not having sex. (Because I could not find information about anything where I tried looking. I know what occurs during that test, but never did anything say pre-sexual activity.

You were a lot more informative than other health sites I've tried looking at, which only said a basic overview and never addressed any other concerns. I really appreciate the thorough answer to my query.
