Almost : Impossible. Cervical cancer comes from the HPV virus that you get through sexual contact. It can be gotten through close contact other than intercourse if the contact was close enough though. So still be careful rubbing bare skin to skin if you don't want sexually transmitted diseases

Highly unlikely: The vast majority of cervical cancers are caused by several strains of the human papillomavirus. Human papillomaviruses are typically transmitted sexually
