If I Have Cervical Cancer Does That Mean I Have Hpv?

Is it reversible in that way? I know that if you have HPV you can get cervical cancer, BUT if I have cervical cancer does that mean I have HPV?

yes. if you have cervical cancer you have hpv. it is not reversible, but often treatable through surgical excision.

Not necessarily. Though about 80% of cervical cancer can be linked to HPV, about 20% of it is not.

Pretty much, YES. If you have cervical cancer you have HPV. Over 99% of cervical cancer is caused by HPV.
