A member asked:
I read almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus (hpv), the bc pill may stop the body from clearing the infection. can the bc pill stop clearing of hpv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Most women clear HPV on their own. Even if you have HPV, you should get HPV vaccination to prevent other types of HPV viruses from infecting you.
