Rejected petition KEEP CERVICAL SCREENING TESTS EVERY 3 YEARS

We need women’s cervical screening tests to stay at EVERY 3 years and the age to be lowered.

More details

5 years is too long when anything could happen. People can test negative for HPV and 3 years later test positive. Waiting 5 years too long and could be dangerous for women.

You can have cervical cancer without testing positive for HPV. Low risk does not mean NO risk!

Women’s health isn’t a toy. It shouldn’t be played with. Keep it at 3 years.
