In fact, 26 percent of these women did not know where to go if they wanted to get one at Harvard. Pap tests help detect abnormalities early when they’re the most treatable and when they’re the least lethal. Combine the high rate of HPV among women our age with Harvard’s low pap test rate, and there is clearly a problem...
