Dx with hpv 16 two years ago. now i've been prescribed enbrel (etanercept) for ra, can this med make worst the hpv and also be a high risk for cervical cancer?

Several suggestions: If HPV has been inactive it could be activated technically, though no studies have been done to show this. So, first have your OB-GYN do a thorough exam including a PAP smear, and if negative have the PAP smear repeated regularly. Second call the Enbrel (etanercept) nurse on call for recent reports or changes.* Enbrel (etanercept) is an important RA treatment so stick with it. Alternatives same problem.*1-888-436-2735.
