Bernice: you are right any lady under the age of 25 can walk in and demand she should have a smear test but having the age limit lowered would save a lot of fear
alot of why they wont lower the age is to do with the cost
but in the long run surely if lowering the age limit to 20 where your send a reminder every 3 years saved one life then its a must for the ppl of the UK

alot of countries actually test woman every year
we are so far behind with 25 years and only getting screened every 3 years every 5 years after the age of 50

Snoopy:"New guidelines suggest that women should have their first Pap smear by the age of 21 or within 3 years of first sexual intercourse. Women need to continue to have yearly gyn exams to look for any abnormalities or STDs, as well."

I'm just guessing here but I'm assuming that in a socialist system of medical care, a person is restricted for the procedure until a certain age? According to the above, for may "women" the age would be 16.

This doesn't have much to do with politics unless we're discussing the implications of socialized medicine. Is that the reason for the 25 year old age limit?

Checking a variety of sites, I get different info on when to start and how often. Basically, proper medical coverage would agree with the medical experts. Most agree a pap smear should be done within the first few years of becoming sexually active and by age 18-21 even if one is not sexually active. If a socialized medical system doesn't allow for these parameters, then they are simply playing with the lives of women patients.
