A member asked:
Can you get genital warts or cervical cancer from a wart on your hand?

No: Cervical cancer is typically associated with infection by high-risk subtypes of human papilloma virus (hpv). Common warts such as those that occur on the hands and feet are caused by different, low-risk subtypes of hpv.
