Pap Test
How often should I get a Pap test?
You should have a Pap test every year for the first three years after you become sexually active. If these first three tests are normal, your Pap test should be repeated at least every two years until you are 70.
If you have had a total hysterectomy in which both the uterus and cervix have been removed, talk with a doctor or nurse about whether you need to have Pap tests.
