equation does not add up

Ive been getting some conflicting information

genital wart strains = anal wart strains
genital warts dont = cancer
yet
anal warts may = cancer?
it dosnt add up?

the strains of HPV that cause warts DON'T cause cancer...genital/anal warts strains could be the same because since hpv is spread thru skin to skin contact..and during sex almost everything touches alomst everywhere...you could get warts from an infected partner wherever his skin/penis comes in contact w/ you..vagina,labia,anal areas...

Anal cancer symptoms are more difficult since a wart or bump around/in the anus could be just hemrroids/anal fissure ...a wart/bump could be a sign HOWEVER anal cancer usually has other symptoms as well..warts/bumps on/around/in the anus, itching in/around the anus,discharge/bleeding, pain/prssure, open sore that don't heal... I wouldn't freak out...but I do believe that having HPV has caused me to pay closer attention to my health and my body..watch any suspicious warts bumps and if they don't go away or change..go to a doctor...hope this helped
