Last time I had a Pap, she volunteered that they could to an HPV test at my next annual exam. If that's clear, no pap for 3 years. Still have to get an annual exam, but no pap. I appreciate that she made me aware of what the clinical guidelines are. Everyone should be so lucky as to have a doc who is open with her about such things.
