An article titled “ACOG recommends against annual cervical screening” (published December 22, 2015) misstated Dr. Jill Rabin’s position on when to screen women age 65 or older. The article should have stated: Changes in most risk factors, including new sexual partners, are not a reason to start screening again in older women because of the long disease latency, according to the ACOG recommendations. Dr. Rabin added, “I reconsider this in certain instances if their status changes, especially if there is immunosuppression, being with a high-risk partner, or having multiple sexual partners.”
