Take Action!
The best thing you can do to prevent cervical cancer is to get regular Pap tests.
Schedule Your Pap Test
Call your doctor’s office or local health clinic to schedule your Pap test and pelvic exam. Free and low-cost Pap tests are available – find a location near you.
Prepare for Your Pap Test
Try to schedule your Pap test for a time when you do not have your period. For 2 days before your test, doctors recommend that you avoid:
- Using tampons
- Having sex
- Using birth control creams, foams, or jellies
- Douching
