Cervical Cancer: Causes Beyond HPV - Understanding Risk Factors

Question
Does anyone get cervical cancer who has never had the human papilloma virus?  Are there any other causes of cervical cancer?  Would it be safe to assume that if, for example, I've only had one sex partner (my husband) and I have cervical cancer that he gave me the human pappilloma virus during sex?
Thanks,
Charlize

charlize;

cervix cancer;
-a common but treatable cancer of the female reproductive system;

signs&symptoms;
in the early,easily treatable stages;
-no symptoms
in later stages;
-unexplained vaginal bleeding
-persistent vaginal discharge
-pain and bleeding after intercourse
in final stages;
-abdominal pain
-leaking of feces and urine through the vagina
-appetite and weight loss
-anemia

causes;
-unknown. probably related to viral infections,including human papillomavirus;

surgery to remove the cancerous area. during early stages,this may only involve a small area of the cervix,which preserve childbearing abilities. more advanced stages may reguire removal of reproductive organs and other affected tissues;

chemotherapy and ratiation therapy for advanced cancer;

if cervical cancer is not treated early,it spreads beyond the uterus to other body parts-leading to death;

usually cureable if diagnosed before the cancer has spread;

the more you can learn and understand about cervical cancer,the more you will be able to make informed decisions about where to go for your care,the treatments available,the risks involved,side effects of therapy and expected outcome.
