When should women start getting anual exams?

Question

Age?
I’m 26 and received my first one today. I’ve been having sex since I was 19. 
I feel like I should’ve started younger but would like some input on this. 
Thanks

Answer

I thought you were asking about anal exams when I read this.

Answer

You get a pap every 3 years, not annual.

Answer

Sexually active or 21.
I started going at 15 when my mom found out I was sexually active

Answer

I say when you become sexually active/start birth control

Answer

I’ve had one every year since I was 16. I’m 35 now.

Answer

Don’t quote me. But I think I’ve read that you should get your first pap when you first have sex or when you turn 21. Whichever comes first. I’m 26 and get them annually.

Answer

I think I was 15 when I went. I believe once you’re sexually active it’s important.

Answer

Once you become sexually active usually. Or 21 if that happens first. Saying that I've never got round to sorting it, I now have a 6 month old and it's not like I'm the virgin Mary xD.

Answer

You probably should have started younger especiallly if you were sexually active. paps don’t start till 21 typically

Answer

Not saying anyone should this young but I started at 17, I’m 18 now
