IF you are in a monogamous relationship and have had three negative pap smears in a row, you can skip three years. Those are big IFs.

How can you be sure the other person is 100% monogamous?

I've always been taught to go every year and even if you don't HAVE to, it's still nice to have that piece of mind.

As I understand it, cervical cancer is SO slow moving, 99.99% of the time, that even if you contracted a high-risk type of HPV today, you'd probably be just fine having a pap in three years.
