Lower First Cervical Screening to 18

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want them to consider lowering the cervical screening age from 25 to 18 to reduce the risk of HPV developing into CIN2 and CIN3 by the time women reach 25

I am 25 and I have been told I have CIN3 and are at high risk of these cells turning to cancer. For the HPV infection to develop to CIN3 it would need 2 years to do so, meaning it started when I was 23. It could have been treated earlier if I had an earlier smear test,
