I get mine every year, but I have abnormal tests. It’s up to your doctors and your insurances desegregation

Answer

In our country you start getting one when your 30y old. And then every 5 years u get an invite. So if you don’t want to go, you don’t have to. 
But if they find something you get regular checkups.

Answer

They recently changed the guidelines to every 3 years if you have had normal paps in the past. I’ve never had an abnormal but I still insist on getting my Pap every year.
