Petition Action

Lower First Cervical Screening to 18

Petition Details

I want them to consider lowering the cervical screening age from 25 to 18 to reduce the risk of HPV developing into CIN2 and CIN3 by the time women reach 25

Additional Information

I am 25 and I have been told I have CIN3 and are at high risk of these cells turning to cancer. For the HPV infection to develop to CIN3 it would need 2 years to do so, meaning it started when I was 23. It could have been treated earlier if I had an earlier smear test,
