Well, I can't help out someone who wants to stay ignorant.
HPV is the primary CAUSE of cervical cancer. The "risk factor" would be behavior that leads to HPV, but there is a causal relationship that has been medically proven between HPV and cervical cancer. So, I'm still not sure why you posted that lengthy cut/paste to me.
Because I thought more information, on the thread, would be better. I used your remark because you assert that HPV causes cancer.

Well, of course not. Nobody can do that.
