If you are 70 years or over and have had two normal Pap smears in the last five years, you do not have to keep having Pap smears, unless you wish to do so. Women who are over 70 years who have never had a Pap smear, or those who request a Pap smear, of course could have a pap smear. Remember that, with the advent of HPV testing that goes along with the papsmear test, women over the age of 30 need only to have a pap with HPV every 3 years, if both of negative.

After age 21, women should have a Pap test every two years, instead of every year. At age 30, if a woman has no history of cervical cancer and has had three normal Pap tests in a row, she can be screened every three years, rather than every two to three years. However, annual pelvic exams -- which are necessary for performing a Pap test -- won't necessarily be going away.
