The current ACCSP guidelines do not recommend routine screening for women over the age of 69. However, if a woman over 69 has never had a Pap test it is recommended that she have two Pap tests six months apart and if these are normal then she may not need to continue to have Pap tests. If a Pap test is abnormal then she will need to be monitored based on recommendations from the doctor.
