While someone above posted a link that says 99% of all cervical cancers are HPV-related, keep in mind that "approximately 20 million Americans are currently infected with HPV (http://www.cdc.gov/std/HPV/STDFact-HPV.htm), and another 6.2 million people become newly infected each year. At least 50% of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives." (CDC website)
