No , not true: Most of time cancer of the cervix is due to hpv virus but not all the time, other factors are involved in genesis . Cancer of cervix could be detected early and possible to cure by early diagnosis , by simple regular gyn visits, with pap smear with out requiring any complex test & interments

I tested negative for the all high risk HPV strains. However there were insufficient cells in my pap to receive an adequate cytology result. Considering >90% of cervical cancers are caused by HPV, is a repap really necessary at age 24? Or can I wait?
