HPV prevention: Even with highest risk HPV types, cancer is rare. When it happens, it's rare before age 40. Stress does not increase the risk of HPV or of progression to cancer -- no worries there. Get vaccinated against HPV, if not already done. Vacctionation prevents infection with the 9 HPV types that together cause 90% of cancers and 90% of genital warts. And follow your doctor's pap smear reecommeddations.

Obsession: From your multiple questions on this topic, you seem to be obsessed with anal cancer. From the information you provided, you do not have anal cancer. Get HPV vaccine to avoid infection with other strains of the virus. Wish you good health!
