In honor of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month (January), we’re re-posting our Fact or Fiction on pap smears for the viewing pleasure of any who missed it the first time around (or who just want to relive fond memories;).

We also have a Provider Perspective article on the causes, treatment, and prevention of HPV, which is the most common cause of cervical cancer. If after reading you think it’s time for a visit to a health provider, you can use our clinic finder to get information on nearby clinics, or the list of free and low cost pap test locations in the U.S. on The National Cervical Cancer Coalition’s website.

The good news is that the latest guidelines on pap smears say most women only need to get one every 3 years (instead of annually). But if you haven’t had one in a while, or if you haven’t had the HPV vaccine, you know what they say… No time like the present, a.k.a. January.
