If diagnosed with hpv (the strand that causes genital warts ) what methods are used to prevent cervical cancer?

Different strain: Wart strains are associated with warts, cancer strains with cancer. You can pick up a cancer strain if exposed, or get the vaccine to protect yourself from it. It won't treat the strain you have but could help prevent you from picking up another. Condoms help some but are not fully protective for hpv.
