Women's Health: 19 yo woman examining risks and benefits of birth control. These are very valid concerns. Studies show there may be a higher risk of breast cancer in women who take oral contraception and the same risks may exist with depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) see link. For HPV, get the vaccine and get your Pap smear at age 21 +follow USPST recs. http://ww5.komen.org/BreastCancer/CurrentorRecentUseofBirthControlPills.html
