Probably not. Is there a reason you're concerned?

I would think you could get it without having HPV.  I am no dr and HPV can cause cervical cancer but what about cancers in the rest of the body how do they get there????  Just keep up on your paps regularly and if you do that if there is any concern the dr will let you know and you should catch it all in time.  I found out about 5 yrs ago I was right at cervical cancer and yes it was from HPV but like I said I would think you could get it even if you do not have it but I could be wrong.  Good Luck

i read on the net over 90% of cases are from hpv so you have roughly a 10% chance of other causes. not much, huh.
