a female that gets genital warts eventually gettin cervical cancer? I  told my girlfriend that I had this problem before anything ever  happened. I didnt’ know a whole lot about the whole thing. I have  read several places that maybe as many as 80% of sexually active  people could have HPV and that only about 1% of those would ever know  they had it. We are planning to get married, and I don’t know if she  has it, and she thinks she doesn’t, but fact is, if we had sex even  though it was protected, she probably does. It just kills me to think  that I could have given the person I love something that could kill  them…Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
