Dear Doctor K and Reader on Pap Test Guidelines
A reader asks about Pap test frequency while the article explains updated guidelines from 2012. For ages 21 to 65 a Pap test every three years is standard, or every five years with a Pap plus HPV test for ages 30 to 65. Most cervical cancers are linked to HPV, and guidelines note older women or those without a cervix may not need screening.

Pap test frequency guidance from Dr Komaroff
A doctor explains cervical cancer risk and test limits noting Pap and HPV tests remain useful but should not be performed annually. False positives in young women can lead to unnecessary anxiety and invasive diagnostics, while imperfect tests can miss cancers. Recommendations advocate less frequent screening based on risk.

He tripled enrollment to 1,200 and achieved high California test scores while government funding remained low, but the Oakland School Board voted to close the schools citing accounting and governance concerns, as parents and students pleaded to keep them open.
