Re: cervical cancer mtniharika - 05-18-10 14:51 My answer is: a.
he current guidelines, recommend that women get a Pap test three years after they begin having sexual intercourse, but no later than age 21. And that women younger than 30 have an annual exam. For women 30 or older, the recommendation was every two to three years, if they'd had three consecutive negative Pap tests.
