Yes. 21 is a good age to start. You will also get a physical & a breast cancer screening. Try to schedule your pap smear during the middle of your menstrual cycle (day 14) & don't douche (or have intercourse) for 3 days beforehand.

YES all women should get pap smears at least once a year doesn't matter if you're sexually active or not. You are at the prime age to start. Make an appointment.

Yes, go ahead and get one. Tell them you are not sexually active so that they will use a smaller speculum. Good luck!

Yep -- once a year I think after you turn eighteen is average. Since you are not sexually active you are at a lower risk for things like cervical displasia, but they can still happen, and also paps can pick up non-stds like trich, yeast etc.

you need one every year. i just had a pap smear done last week.

I think either every 6 months or every year.

Yes, you need a gynecological checkup and pap smear every year to ensure you're healthy and don't get cancer.
