Can you die from hpv virus?

Many kinds of HPV: HPV itself will not kill you. However, this virus is linked to certain kinds of cancer (including cervical cancer). There are many strains of HPV, and only 2 have been linked to cancer. If you are concerned, it is possible to determine the strain of HPV. Regular PAP smears help monitor HPV & catch cancer cells early. Occasionally HPV resolves on its own. No treatment for this virus.

Not in 1st stage: For most this can have no symptoms and clear itself within the first 2 years, only to remain in hibernation in your body.Some strains have been associated with cervical, penile, anal and throat cancer that could arise decades after the 1st infection.So for most this is a minor inconvenience, for a rare few it is deadly.
