• Some HPV types can cause cell changes in the cervix (infections) that may slowly lead to cancer if they are not found and treated. • Infection with HPV that does not go away (“persistent”) is necessary for the development of cervical cancer. • Most women who have been exposed to HPV do NOT develop cancer of the cervix.
