A member asked:
I have a high risk strain of hpv not sure exactly which it is but i have been treated for cin and vin. what is my risk of developing oropharengeal ca?

Depends: Hpv does not travel through your bloodstream, so having been infected "down below" by itself is not a risk factor. If you have been having oral sex then you are at risk. Oropharengeal cancer from hpv seems to be a bigger risk for males.
