90You are counselling a patient who was just diagnosed with HPV. She asks you, "doesn't this mean I'm going to develop cervical cancer?" What is the best response?
- A"Some types of HPV are oncogenic, meaning they can increase your risk of developing cancer. Would you be interested in getting tested to see if you carry an oncogenic strain?"
