Is that cancer of the cervix? Human Pap Virus? I'm sorry I don't know. Have you talked with your Doctor?

life expectancy for a person WITH HPV or life expectancy of the virus in a person? HPV is not a terminal illness, it is only a virus that can cause genital warts in some cases and cervical cancer in others. Not everyone (in fact, not most people) who gets HPV, gets cervical cancer from it. Some women get the virus and then clear it on their own. For others, their body does not clear it and they harbor the virus for a very long time. It is VERY important that women with HPV do not smoke, as it causes an increase in your risk for getting cervical cancer. If you have more questions about it, you should ask your gynecologist.

HPV is a virus. It depends what you have from the HPV virus. A bunch of women have HPV and nothing happens; then other women develop ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is highly curable, if caught at an early stage.
You didn't give any details, so I cannot really elaborate.

HPV is short for human papilla virus. It is a STD. There are many different strains. Millions of women have HPV and don't even know it! In some it can resolve on it's own but some women will develop cervical cancer. It has been linked as one of the leading causes of cervical cancer and/or dyspepsia which regular pap testing can detect. there time frame. They now offer a vaccine that can help in the protection of getting HPV.
