Is there any point - smear

[theskyispurple]

I'm almost 50, married for 10 years, never had abnormal smear results.
I know that the cells only get looked at if the hpv test is positive.
What are the chances of me having hpv now considering that it has never shown up before?
Trying to minimise unnecessary anything in my life - is this something I can cut?

My sister in law died at 39 with cervical cancer. She had been married for 15 years. She left three girls ages 2, 9 and 13.

a smear test is literally 30 mins out of your life every few years. It’s just not worth the risk of not having one done just to save time
