I have had all 4 strains of hpv that causes cancer, in 2006 i had the precancer cells removed , could there still be strains in the anal canal?

Continue screening: The HPV strains are with you for life, but as long as you continue screening, you are very unlikely to come down with an incurable lesion as a result of this. Many people are in your situation. Keep on being a good patient and a wise person.
