    Teenagers get immunised against HPV these days, in a generation it will not be a problem. They are also waiting to see if it reduces the breast cancer and prostate cancer rate.

    Doesn't help us old folk.

    A positive result for a pap smear doesn't mean you have cancer, it means you have the wart virus(HPV) that can cause cervical cancer.

      Immunisation does not protect from every strain of HIV and not every strain gives you genital warts. True, not all strains give you cervical cancer, but you are not necessarly safe, even if you have only had one sexual partner
