The Center on Disease Control, commonly known as the CDC, has come out with a blaringly blunt statement. Yearly Pap smears are not necessary.

Many times the women who had a small aberration from normal were given biopsies and other “treatments” that were totally unnecessary. In other words, needless suffering, needless expense, and needless “treatment”. Treatment is to be used for sickness or other health problems. These women had no such sicknesses or health problems. For a quick and explicit answer to the question, the answer is clearly; “Less than once a year.“.
