A member asked:
Hi- if i have hpv and ill take my cervix out- will i still have a chance to get cancer? can the virus manifest itself in other areas of the body? thx

Yes: Hpv causes changes that can affect all of the epithelial cells in the vagina, vulva, anus and mouth/throat. So even if someone has their cervix taken out, they can have cancer of those areas. Having said that, the chances of having pre-cancer or cancer in those areas is extremely low. Regular check ups to check for lesions as well as noting any lesions yourself in those areas can help. Best!
