Now the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists doesn't care if you get cancer either, ladies.
On the heels of the Task Force changing the guidelines for mammograms, now the ACOG has changed the guidelines for Pap smears.
The recommended age for the first Pap is now 21, instead of three years after the first instance of sexual intercourse; then, every two years instead of annually. Women in their 30s and older can wait three years between tests after they've had three consecutive clear screenings.
My favorite part of the new recommendations is that women who have had the vaccine against HPV should follow the same guidelines as the unvaccinated. So you and your insurance company have totally wasted hundreds of dollars on those Gardasil injections, because remember, ladies, it's all about Big Pharma. They don't care if it helps you or kills you as long as they make the money.
