I am a 27-year-old female, 5 weeks pregnant, and had a concussion almost 6 months ago.

I have been diagnosed with genital warts caused by low-risk HPV types 6 and 11. I have had infrequent recurrences and most of my partners were vaccinated against HPV. I am concerned about the potential cancer risks associated with HPV, particularly throat cancer from oral sex. Could you clarify the following: 1) Does having low-risk HPV types 6 and 11 increase the risk of cancer? 2) Does having low-risk HPV make me less likely to contract high-risk HPV types like 16 or 18? 3) Can low-risk HPV types also cause throat cancer? 4) If I have low-risk HPV genitally, does it affect the likelihood of having high-risk HPV orally or elsewhere?
