Women are encouraged to start getting yearly Pap smears at the age of 21 or within 3 years of becoming sexually active.
A 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 a woman has had abnormal pap smears or is HPV positive, or has high risk conditions such as diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure or HIV positive, she will need pap smears or other testing as determined in discussion with her health care provider.
