At-Home Pap Smears Without A Speculum Is An Option In Other Countries. Here’s Why You Can’t Do This In America.


Under the Affordable Care Act, most private insurance companies are required to cover once-a-year routine Pap smears and HPV testing 100% with no copay.

“I know paps aren’t fun. I’ve been on both sides and have seen many different reactions to them. So, try to think of them as an act of self-care, not just a medical task. If you’ve had a tough experience or feel anxious, you’re not alone, and you deserve a provider who listens, explains, and respects your comfort every step of the way. Ask your friends if they’ve had any providers they really liked, source recommendations online, and don’t settle,” Mbaye concluded.
