Who should be screened?
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women in Zimbabwe, and one of the most preventable. Screening is recommended for:
- Most women from age 30, as the World Health Organization recommends
- Women living with HIV from age 25, and more often
- Women who feel well, because early changes usually cause no symptoms
- Women who've had the HPV vaccine
