Smear test...
 
just had it done...and it took all of 10 seconds...
yet there are still a lot of women out there that keep putting it off, using the move to Dubai, not having their own GP etc as an excuse..
girls...go and make an appointment, get it over and done with...it can prevent a lot trouble later on...

Yeah, it's just the thought of it that puts me off - the actual test isn't so bad. In australia they have a national register - they send you out a letter whenever you're overdue for one and tell you to get in and have it done.

yes, same in Holland and the UK I believe...but here you have to take the initiative yourself, and thats when a lot of women stop having them...
I think the thought of maybe having cancer and not doing anything about it is more off putting in the long run...

I thought it was every 3 years only for those having more than one sexual partner...or having more than 59 pairs of shoes...same difference.

typical comment to be expected of you I suppose...mister Viagra

while it's true that women who have a lot of sexual partners (or are in a relationship with a man that fcks round) have a higher risk, every woman up to the age of 50 should have a 3 year check up...
