• Yes. There are 30 identified types of HPV, and about ten of these types can lead, in rare cases, to cervical cancer. • Women are at risk for about two years after exposure to the HPV virus. HPV infection is generally over after that. • A Pap test is the best way to detect an HPV infection early in women.
