Freq of Pap smears: The usual recommendation for Pap smears is every 6 months. Hopefully you got the 3 Guardisil-4 shots. There is one out that now contains 9 strains of the HPV virus which we believe will reduce incidence of cervical cancer by 98%. You can get a blood test to see if you're still eligible to get it. If you are then do so. It's the first anticancer vaccine we have. Awesome!!!
