The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) released draft guidelines that maintain all existing screening methods, including Pap testing and co-testing (Pap+HPV), so you can continue to access preventive care.

The USPSTF has a 5-week comment period to receive feedback on the draft guidelines.​ Help ensure you and your healthcare professional continue to have access to life-saving tests. You can make your voice heard by encouraging your member of Congress to support these draft recommendations that preserve all screening options for cervical cancer by January 13, 2025.

What this Means for Women

The USPSTF screening guidelines impact your ability to access life-saving screenings for a preventable and treatable disease, like cervical cancer. Currently, cervical cancer screenings are free of cost for women. This is possible because of the Affordable Care Act and guidelines set by the USPSTF. It’s crucial to speak out in support of screening guidelines that would ensure women can continue to access Pap testing and co-testing at no cost.

  • Cervical cancer rates are no longer declining, and Black and Hispanic women are at greater risk for the disease.
  • Co-testing has been shown to be the most sensitive screening strategy for detecting cervical cancer and precancer.
