Q&As on this topic

1. I've heard about a vaccine for HPV called Gardasil. Is it available on the NHS?

last reviewed: 16.11.2006

2. I had a hysterectomy for cervical cancer two years ago. A recent smear taken from my vagina has found HPV. Does this mean I could develop another cancer?

last reviewed: 06.06.2007

3. I have a cervical wart. My husband and I have been married 15 years. Does this mean he has been having an affair? Can this be passed on by oral sex? Will I get cancer? What do I do?
