no! they are not! genital warts means that person is infected with HPV. but the risk is that this person can get cervical cancer because HPV causes cervical cancer! so it is necesarry to do tests frequently!

What? No.. they are nothing to do with each other. Genital warts are from having unprotected sex with someone who had them, and caught the virus from them.. cervical cancer is from.. cancer. You cannot get cervical cancer from genital warts, or vice versa.
not necessarily. Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). The virus infects the skin and mucous membranes. There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of men and women, including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), and anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, and rectum. You cannot see HPV. Most people who become infected with HPV do not even know they have it.
What are the symptoms and potential consequences of HPV?
Most people with HPV do not develop symptoms or health problems. But sometimes, certain types of HPV can cause genital warts in men and women. Other HPV types can cause cervical cancer and other less common cancers, such as cancers of the vulva, vagina, anus, and penis. The types of HPV that can cause genital warts are not the same as the types that can cause cancer.
HPV types are often referred to as “low-risk” (wart-causing) or “high-risk” (cancer-causing), based on whether they put a person at risk for cancer. In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears the HPV infection naturally within two years. This is true of both high-risk and low-risk types.
No but it means she most likely has HPV. And certain hpv viruses can give you cervical cancer. She really should go see a doctor.
No, but you are very high risk for cervical cancer. I have HPV but I don’t have the warts. Mine had no symptoms. It was caught on a routine pap smear. Now my paps are always bad and I have to go to a specialist every year to get a C.O.P.O. and biopsy even though I have no symptoms. Cervical cancer is very deadly. If you catch it early then chances are it can be removed. Please don’t put off your pap smears. They are VERY important.
No. Genital warts are a symptom of humanpapilloma virus. Certain types of HPV can cause cervical dysplasia (a precancerous condition) and cervical cancer. Warts and cervical dysplasia or cancer can occur at the same time (they did for me). A Pap smear can detect HPV and other infections. You can be infected with HPV and it can go away spontaneously but you can be reinfected with a different strain of the virus. It is sexually transmitted, it is epidemic, many men carry the virus but are asymptomatic. Condone use can help prevent transmission of HPV.
A doc may "freeze" off the warts and, if the Pap smear shows significant cellular changes to the cervix, perform an operation in which cells of the cervix are shaved off. If cancer is diagnosed, that is a whole other ballgame but it is not that common in women who are diligent about getting Ob/gyn exams that include Pap smear tests.
