Background
We need women’s cervical screening tests to stay at EVERY 3 years and the age to be lowered.
Additional details
5 years is too long when anything could happen. People can test negative for HPV and 3 years later test positive. Waiting 5 years too long and could be dangerous for women. You can have cervical cancer without testing positive for HPV. Low risk does not mean NO risk! Women’s health isn’t a toy. It shouldn’t be played with. Keep it at 3 years.
