A member asked:
Docs, could a non-sexually active person get cervical cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non vs never: Any past sexual contact could have transferred the virus strains known to trigger cervical cancer. If you/they were never (ever) sexually active, they would be unlikely to develop it.
