A member asked:
Is it possible to get cervical cancer if you've had a infection so long thats hard to get rid of and your not sure what the infection you have?

Yes: Cervical cancer is linked to infection of the cervix with human papilloma virus. If the infection goes undetected for a long time it can lead to cancer of the cervix. This can largely be avoided by getting regular check ups with your gynecologist or family physician. A vaccine is now available to help younger men & women avoid human papilloma virus infection.
