According to the American Cancer Society, a woman should undergo a conventional Pap test yearly; however, if she is over 30 years of age with three normal serial tests, the interval may be 2 to 3 years. Therefore, this patient would need a Pap test every 2 to 3 years. A woman no longer needs to obtain conventional Pap tests if she is 70 years of age or older when there are three or more normal tests within the past 10 years.
