PAP smear - Answers - start at 25year per ACS, HPV every 5 years , cotesting every 5
years, cytology every 3 years

Group B Strep (GBS) - Answers - Group B strep (GBS) is the most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborns, including sepsis, meningitis, and newborn pneumonia. Premature infants have a higher risk of GBS infection, but most cases occur in full-term infants. About half of the cases occur during the first week of life, and most of these cases are preventable by giving intravenous antibiotics to patients in labor who are infected with or at high risk for GBS. Patients with group B strep bacteriuria during their current pregnancy or who previously gave birth to an infant with early-onset group B strep disease should receive intrapartum antimicrobial prophylaxis. Current guidelines for GBS screening recommend universal prenatal screening for vaginal and rectal group B strep colonization (a culture swab is inserted into the vagina, along the perineum, and into the rectum, and then sent to the lab) of all pregnant patients at 36 0/7-37 6/7 weeks' gestation. It is not standard practice to perform urine screening for GBS. If positive, penicillin is the first-line agent for intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis, with ampicillin an acceptable alternative if penicillin is unavailable.
