Two important aspects of the U.S. Constitutionâfederalism and the separation of powersârepresent, in part, the framersâ efforts to divide governmental power. Federalism limits government by creating two sovereign powersâthe national government and state governmentsâthereby restraining the influence of both. Separation of powers imposes internal limits by dividing government against itself, giving different branches separate functions and forcing them to share power.
Our answer. All women aged between 18 and 70 who have ever been sexually active should have a Pap test every two years. The risk of cervical cancer increases with age, so it is important for women to continue cervical screening until they are at least 70. If women have two normal Pap test results in the five years before they turn 70, they can stop having Pap tests. While some women may choose to continue having Pap tests after 70, the risk of developing cervical cancer at this age (having had regular normal Pap tests to age 70) is minimal.
1 If your Pap test is normal and/or you have a negative HPV test, then you do not have to have a Pap test every year. 2  For women 21-29 years old: A Pap test every three years is sufficient. Women over 30 years old should be tested for HPV if possible when they have a Pap test. 2  The combination of Pap test and HPV test results can allow less frequent screening in some women over 30.
