Do you follow Pap Test Guidelines?

Do you get your Pap Test as recommended? According to this recent Health Day News report, younger women are beginning to follow the guidelines but older women don't.

I do. Why not? I don't like the new guidlines where low risk women now only get them every 3 years. HPV can show up 10 years down the road. I believe screenings should still be every year.
It's very important to get your screenings. Don't hesitate!
