Isit 100% that someone that has hpv 6.11, 16, 18 and it will cause cervical cancer or immunue system can fight it of the body if its strong?

No.....: Most patients infected with high risk hpv types do not develop cancer, and the infection is cleared by the immune system within 1-2yrs. However, the longer one is infected, the higher the risk of cancer development. Other factors increase risk, including smoking, immune suppression, multiparty, long term ocp use and chronic inflammatory states.70% of cases are attibutable to hpv-16 or 18.

No: There are very few things that are 100%. While these serotypes are proven to be the most virulent forms of hpv associated with cancer, even this does not guarantee a future of malignancy.

NO: Patients with hpv, especially the above types are at increased risk for developing cancers of the genital tract and the oropharynx. This is not a certainty but an increased risk. Have routine examinations.
