Cervical Cancer
There are simple steps to take to prevent cervical cancer.
Screen regularly. Get a Pap test when you are due.
Vaccinate. The HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that cause about 90% of cervical cancer.
Cervical Cancer Screening Recommendations:
- Recommended for people with a cervix beginning at age 21 every 3-5 years.
- Recommended until age 65.
- Age 66+ who have had regular cervical cancer testing in the past 10 years with normal results can stop testing.
