I feel like the people who say “I would rather get cancer than get a Pap Smear” probably have some type of trauma to make them feel that way. Not to excuse the discouraging language around testing in general. But just to point out the other perspective
THIS IS HIGH PRIORITY…. The test is worth NOT getting cancer. It’s a yearly screening. There’s a reason WHY we have it. HPV can happen so fast and lead to worsening issues like cancer. GET TESTED
