Are there other viral etiologies, besides HPV and HSV that can cause PID?
I think you have two different diseases confused here. I can speak with some authority on this issue. PID= pelvic inflammatory disease and is usually caused by bacterial agents as described above. HPV is the cause of abnormal pap smears and ultimately cervical cancer. There persists some minimal debate as to whether or not HSV (herpes simplex virus) causes cervical changes most do not believe this to be the case. Very importantly HPV vaccine recently touted as a preventative measure for cervical cancer is incomplete including 2 viruses that cause genital warts, and 2 that cause cancer. There are several other HPV forms that cause cancer and are ommitted from the formulation.
