Hello,
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
Your chances of getting cervical cancer are remote, there is nothing ominous in your personal or family history, and you have always had normal Pap tests.
Please continue having the screening however, as it is recommended, even if you are not sexually active in the future.
It is routine surveillance .
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further,
Regards.
