A member asked:
Can you transmit vaginal cancer from one women to another by having sex?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Vaginal cancer is usually caused by certain strains of the hpv virus. While a woman's risk of vaginal is increased by multiple sexual partners and having a history of abnormal pap smears, it is still very rare. Cancer cells are malignant, but are not capable of grafting from one individual to another via sex.
