Yes, seeing you have are less than the age of 30, you should still continue receiving Pap smears even if you are not sexually active. According to the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG), the most recent guidelines for Pap Smears (released November 2009) recommends:
- Women should have their first Pap smear at the age of 21 regardless of when sexual activity initiated, present abstinence, or homosexuality
- Women between the ages of 21 and 30 should be screen every two years
- Women over the age of 30 and have three consecutive negative Pap smears should be screened once every three years
- Pap smears may be stopped for women over the age of 65 with three consecutive negative Pap smears and no abnormal tests within the last 10 years.
Exceptions to the rules include women who are immunocompromised in any way – they should receive more frequent testing.
