A Pap test, available to women between the ages of 21 and 70, is a simple test recommended every 2-3 years that can prevent cervical cancer by detecting any abnormal changes in the cervical cells. Pap tests do not detect other cancers in the reproductive organs, or STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis or HIV.
