Do I need a Cervical Screening Test?

If you are a woman aged 25-74 years of age you should have a Cervical Screening Test every five years until the age of 74. Your first Cervical Screening Test is due at 25 years of age or two years after your last Pap test. If your result is normal, you will be due in five years to have your next test.
