A member asked:

2yrs ago dx w/hpv. inad paps but no cancerous strains. dr says i have gen warts. my prof (nurse pract) said those with gen warts will get cancer later

Similar answer: The wart strains produce warts,not cervical cancer. In the pre vaccine era as many as 70% of college age women tested positive for genital HPV antibodies in some studies.The don't all go on to get cancer.That is a myth. While you may also have acquired a cancer associated HPV strain the same way, it doesn't mean you are destined to develop cancer. You need to discuss this with a therapist
