"Medicine is moving incredibly quickly these days," says Natasha
Schimmoeller, MD, MPH, a fellow at the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists. "We're constantly looking to see:
What do women really need?"

Pap Test and HPV Screening

When to go: If you're ages 21 to 29, get a Pap test
every three years. From ages 30 to 65, get a Pap test
every three years or a combination of Pap and HPV testing every
five years. Source: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
What to know: Known as a Pap test or Pap smear, this cervical
cancer screening was once an annual affair for many women. But in
2012, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and other organizations issued revised guidelines because they thought testing every
three years was effective-and didn't cause as many false positives.

Women's health pop quiz:
How often should you get a Pap
smear? How about a mammogram? Or a test for chlamydia?
If you don't know the answers
off the top of your head, you're
not alone. Guidelines for women's health screenings seem to
continually shift-and it can be
hard to keep up.
