That's true, but nuns get it who are virgins.
Not the viral type.
Not satisfied with my previous answer.
I asked my doctor about this as my grandmother died from cervical cancer. My doctor assured me that it was not hereditary and that the chance of contracting the viral form was minimal as I was in a long term monogamous relationship. My husband and I have been married for 25 years and he is my only partner. She didn't question whether my husband was cirqed or not. Also nuns have extremely low incidence if cervical cancer which is attributed to the fact that presumably they don't have sex. Cancers can grow anywhere but the viral forms need a form of transmission.
