Pap Tests - because you only live once! YOLO!

Here's one for the girls: so all of you men reading this blog (Which must be what, 3 of you), switch off now!

Things Squirrel loves:

• Shopping
• Getting my hair done
• Having a massage
• Going to Uni (sad, mature age student speaking here)
• The internet
• Steak
• Puffin

Things Squirrel (and all women, I can safely generalise) hates:

• PAP TESTS.

But you know what? I'd rather have a quick and pain free Pap test than Cervical Cancer. So that's that. 
So here are five facts.

• Regular Pap tests can prevent around 90% of cervical cancers. 
• Cervical cancer is the 3rd most common cancer in women worldwide.
• You’re still at risk if you haven’t had sex for a long time, you've been with the one partner for ages or you’ve had the HPV vaccine.
• 90% of cervical cancer cases are preventable with regular Pap tests.
• A Pap test does not test for sexually transmitted infections, which is why you should ask about being tested for Chlamydia at the same time
