A Pap smear looks for cervical cancer. It’s one option for cervical cancer screening in anyone who has a cervix. A Pap smear also is called a Pap test.

The Pap test usually is done at the same time as a pelvic exam. During a pelvic exam, a healthcare professional checks the reproductive organs. Sometimes the Pap test may be combined with a test for human papilloma virus, also called HPV. HPV is a common virus that’s passed through sexual contact. Most cervical cancers are caused by HPV.

Get your first Pap test at age 21. Repeat the test every three years. Sometimes the Pap test and HPV test are done at the same time. This is called co-testing. Co-testing may be an option starting at age 25. Co-testing is typically repeated every five years.

Cervical cancer screening after 30 often involves co-testing with a Pap test and HPV test every five years. Sometimes the HPV test is used alone and repeated every five years.

Consider stopping cervical cancer screening after discussing your health history and risk factors with your healthcare professional. If your cervical cancer screening tests haven’t found anything that’s not typical, you may choose to stop the screening tests.
