If you were born with a vagina, 23 years and over and have not changed your social security number, you will routinely be called in for a smear test every three years to find out if there have been any cell changes in your cervix. If you are a trans man, there is a chance that you will not get this offer automatically. Contact the health care wherever you live to book an appointment.<\/p>\n
