HPV16 and cancer: Particular strains of HPV16 are no more likely to cause cancer than others. Your husband is at no more cancer risk just because you were unlucky and developed dysplasia. Millions in the US have HPV16 and the large majority will never get genital or oral cancer. No special precautions are needed. It's OK to continue unprotected sex. But do stop smoking, which may increase risk of HPV16 canccer.

Colpo/biospy results hgsil cin3 (and bad HPV strain). Is leep the best way to go? I'm 26 and done having kids. Any chance it's still invasive cancer?
Hi Doc,how bad is Cin3? After LEEP i still have Cin3. How long does cin3 take to turn into cancer? Could it go to other places as well? My dr wants to do hysterectomy and remove cervix,is this the way to go? I have hpv strain 16 and other high risk
I want to know if HPV 16 will inevitably turn with time into cancer. I had a LEEP a year ago with clear margins and 2 clear paps but i'm still HPV16+.
Had Colposcopy,3 biopsies were taken at that time.ECC biopsy was normal,second was normal,but last biopsy showed CIN3. My pap was normal,they ordered the colp bc I have hpv 16.Having Leep done. Was colposcopy reliable in that I def don't have cancer?
40 yo nonsmoker female. I have hpv 16 and CIN3, LEEP scheduled for 3 weeks away. I take birth control pills and read where that promotes the hpv to cancer faster.Should I stop taking it to lessen my chance until hpv clears?I am not sexually active?
