Screening With Pap Smears versus Screening With HPV Tests (YouTube Video 347

We used to all get an annual pap smear to screen for cervical cancer and never stop doing so. Now you hear about guidelines that recommend a pap only every 3 years, or discontinuing pap screening at some point. You even hear about using a different screening test altogether, and getting it even less frequently than three-year intervals. What’s going on? Why all these changes? In this podcast, I’ll explain all these things, and let you decide what’s best for YOU.
