I was also rejected from the gynae dept. I want the age to be dropped so for people like myself are treated early as im high risk and many others are too.

Not trying to tell granny to suck eggs, but peoples lives are not to be played with. Answer the questions, why did you put the age up in the first place? How much research went into upping the age limit? Is this research available to the public?

I'm now 20 and I've had my smear but had to pay £40. The results now show that I have abnormal changes. Women in my family were diagnosed with cervical cancer under the age of 20. If I'd have waited until I was 25 I may not have been here!

There is some discussion that HPV infection can alter results, but more & more young women have been seually active for many years so they have an increased risk. It is all about choice surely.

She was told that she could not have a smear test because of her age. She went to the GUM clinic they did all the tests for STI's and was clear. She was told that to go to her GP and have a smear test immediately as her cervix was very inflammed and bleeding. The GP said that they had been instructed not to do any smear tests and if they did they would be destroyed. I find this unbelievable. Something must be don

Also checks for STI's such as chlamydia and HPV, amongst others should be included. One encounter can cause infection and young women will have sex regardless so surely a safety net is essential, and will not encourage promiscuity in young people, as they will have sex regardless, so surely regular checks will just pick up any problems before they become untreatable.
