No, but adopting a health life style would be helpful for the long haul. 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 vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

Risk factors such as hypertension, high blood lipids, diabetes could present as familial susceptibility. Dr. Singh’s advice should be heeded to improve your future health. At your age, there is otherwise no need to worry.
