A member asked:
All 14 high risk numbers came up on my pap smear for cervical cancer. does that mean i have i?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The high risk numbers you are probably talking about are strains of HPV, human papilloma virus. Certain strains of this virus make you more likely to get cervical cancer but having this virus strain does not mean that you have it. If you get regular pap smears then the doctors will be able to remove abnormal cells before it turns in to cancer so make sure you get regular pap smears.
