A member asked:
Am i more at risk of getting cancer if i catch a std after a stage 1b melanoma diagnosis even though all melanoma got taken out over a year ago? im under close hospital watch?

HPV causes cervical and other cancers, but neither HIV nor any other STD increases the danger from melanoma or any other cancer. Don't worry that having any STD will make it more likely to recur. Good luck.
