I had a hysterectomy 17 years ago due to endometriosis, and fibroid tumors. The physician took my uterus and cervix but left my ovaries. He then told me that I didn't have to have pap smears ever again, so I went without them until over a year ago. Surprise, my new doc stated I needed them all along. In the past year, I’ve tested positive for HPV twice, and my paps have come back LSIL. A year ago and six months ago, I had colposcopy tests that came back benign. Last month, my pap came back with cells of unknown origin, and positive again for HPV. So here we go again for the 3rd time in 18 months. Yes, you can get HPV, and yes, you can still be at risk for cervical cancer.
Answer:
If she didn’t have cervical cancer before her cervix was removed than no she can’t get cervical cancer without a cervix. If her cervix was removed due to cancer it is possible the cancer spread before the cervix was removed and could show up as a recurrence later.
A cervix is not required to get HPV as most people, including men, who have been sexually active have been exposed to it. It also shows up in non-cervical cancer in both men and women.

Answer:
