Isnt anal hpv slow growing same as cervical hpv ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HPV causes cancer: Yes- in fact there are more than 100 strains of HPV -and a few of them cause cancer. That can be cervical cancer, anal cancer, or some other cancers (like head and neck). The good news is there is a vaccine for HPV that helps prevent some of this from happening. Although the age indication goes up to 26, you should talk to your doc - if you have a lot of risk factors, you might benefit from it.
