A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The basics: At least 7 strains of the HPV family are associated with cervical cancer. Studies have cited as many as 70% of women in their mid 20's have evidence of prior HPV. Most will go a lifetime without ever developing cervical cancer. Pap smears have been used for decades to catch cervical changes before cancer develops so pre-cancer sites can be removed before it develops. This is what you have.
