Women were screened for cervical cancer with Pap smears for decades before we knew the link to strains of HPV and they will continue to if they are smart. Dormant HPV strains associated with cancer can trigger that change years or decades later. How/why they do is not clear.

Get HPV vaccine and undergo regular PAP smear examination as advised by your doctor. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
