A member asked:
Does your partner have to have std for you to get cervical cancer?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Well, yes: The std called hpv, and that virus causes virtually all cervical cancer. This is spread as an std with at least 80% of all women positive for hpv by age 50 years. Therefore, someone had to have given the virus to you. It may be this partner or a previous one.

No: Most, but not all, cervical cancers are related to a human papilloma virus infection. Your physician can have the cancer specimen evaluated for hpv.

NO: Cervical cancers are associated with hpv but this is not the only cause. Cervical cancer certainly can arise in the absence of std either in yourself or your partner.
