Confusing question: Your question appears to ask of this germ will go everywhere in your body, and that is false. HPV strains are quite specific to the areas it will live in and those of your cervix are the primary. In some, these could cause esophageal cancer and anal cancer if their sexual habits put those areas at risk, Docs can evaluate these areas.For now, the most important area for you is your cervix.

No reason to panic: By age 30 y/o 80 % of American women have been exposed to HPV. In 2009 in the US 4,000 women died of cervical cancer (half of which did not have access to care to be diagnosed in a timely fashion); 40,000 women died of breast cancer, i.e., 10 x more. Hope this helps gauging the significance of HPV exposure for women.
