A member asked:
What happens if i test negative for hpv, i don't have to worry about cervical cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely not: The overwhelming majority of cervical cancers are caused by HPV, but rarely they are not. Your chances are very low with your age and HPV status, but please follow your OB/Gyn's recommendations for continued screening if indicated.
