If you and your partner have an HPV test and it's clear, you don't need smear testing unless you change partners (or suspect / find out your current one is cheating). The biopsies that are routinely carried out when abnormal cells (which usually turn out to be nothing) are found actually increase cancer risk themselves.
If you regularly change sexual partners / have multiple sexual partners then obviously regular testing is advisable. Otherwise, the odds of getting cervical cancer without having HPV are minuscule.
You're welcome, and enjoy your genitals.

...if this is true, you have literally seriously helped my life.
I guess it also would depend on 100% knowing Gavs not sleeping around like, which while I trust him, leaving my health depending on him like that seems a bit daft..
