about the same as Cervical Cancer.
Prevalence of HPV is not the same as cervical cancer. HPV is in roughly 50% of the population. Cervical cancer effects a few thousand each year.
In 2007 12,280 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer, 4,021 died from it.
More than 100 types of HPV exist, about 3 can cause cancer.
Source for this info is the CDC.
I suggest you read up on rates of infection, symptoms, etc...
In the vast majority of HPV infections there are NO SYMPTOMS, and the body usually takes care of the infection before warts even have a chance to appear. However, for certain strains, and in some people who have lowered immune response it can lead to devastating symptoms - no warts, but indeed, cancer... Again, I am NOT advocating for these vaccinations - AT ALL. But, it would be of benefit if the two of you learned more about a viral infection that really IS an epidemic, and can cause devastating consequences to those who become infected. In most cases the virus comes and goes without people ever knowing they had it. It's the cases that stick around that end up causing various types of cancer (not just cervical).
BTW, have either of you EVER had a wart of any kind anywhere on your body? If you have then you have had HPV...

Excerpt: In most cases, your body's immune system defeats an HPV infection before it has a chance to create any warts. When warts do appear, they may vary in appearance depending on which variety of HPV is involved
