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. Patricia Geraghty, NP, Advanced Practice Nursing, answered. A woman over 30 years old, who has had normal pap smears and negative HPV tests, should continue to have pap smears every 5 years. She may stop having pap smears at age 65.
If you are over 30 years of age and have not had a Pap smear at all in the last 2 or 3 years, or have had abnormal results on Pap smears in that time, you can either have a follow up Pap smear in 6 months, or a colposcopy now.ap smears make it possible to check that this has happened. If you are 30 years of age or more and do not have a history of normal Pap smears over the past two or three years, your doctor will recommend either a repeat Pap smear within six months, or a colposcopy now.
