It is recommended that most women have a pap smear every year. Try scheduling it on your birthday, you'll never forget!

If you have a family history of certain cancers or have had HPV you might need to have one more regularly.

Also, if you have many sexual partners, especially if it's unprotected, you should be tested every few months or so.

In the meantime....wear a condom!

Alternate response:

Considering cervical cancers are very slow growing (generally taking around 10 years to develop), pap smears every 2 to 3 years is considered normal practice in most parts of the world.

The United States of America has rather bizarrely associated the use of a screening tool for cancer as a requirement for access to Birth Control, which has incorrectly lead many women to believe that they require one annually, if not more frequently. That is not the case, as there is no evidence to suggest that cervical cancers in the U.S are any faster growing than cervical cancers in any other population group.
