Re: TMI

I was told they may be a thing of the past soon, unless you test positive for HPV. I had to get a 6-month follow up pap smear a little while ago (after my last regular pap came back looking somewhat other than normal - it all turned out fine, but I got a vague message on my phone on a Saturday morning and couldn't get a hold of my doctor again until Monday and I was FREAKED OUT as to why my doctor wanted me to call her back "regarding my pap smear - it was a whole thing) and the doctor I saw for the follow up told me the plan was to start having women take HPV tests and if they tested negative, they didn't need another test for five years and would only need pap smears if they tested positive. Apparently, even if you took the test and then immediately went out and contracted HPV it's very unlikely you will develop cancer within five years, so there's no point in doing the test more often than that or in doing pap smears for women who don't have HPV. Also, the HPV test would be self-administered.

Of course, this doesn't mean there aren't other things that could go wrong, so there's still pelvic exams...

I was told by my family doctor that it was recently changed to every three years if your pap is normal/you're not high risk, and unnecessary at all if you're not sexually active, which is good news for me!
