Reply To: When does cervical screening stop?

The stopping age and the criteria vary by country, so your own programme is the authority here rather than anything you read from elsewhere.

What is fairly consistent: stopping usually depends on having a record of recent normal results, not simply on reaching a birthday. A history of HPV or abnormal results can mean continuing longer.
