Background
5 years is too long when anything could happen. People can test negative for HPV and 3 years later test positive. Waiting 5 years too long and could be dangerous for women.
You can have cervical cancer without testing positive for HPV. Low risk does not mean NO risk!
Women’s health isn’t a toy. It shouldn’t be played with. Keep it at 3 years.
