HPV is NOT the only 'cause' of cervical cancer, therefore its presence, or lack of, in your body is no reason dismiss having a pap smear.

Is there a particular reason you don't want to have a smear done?
Totally agree.

I actually haven't heard that HPV can be passed to a baby by its mother. If that were the case or a high risk you would think a C/S maybe the best option for delivery (provided the risk was during a vaginal birth) If certain strains of HPV cause cervical cancer and there is a risk babies can get it you would think then you would be looking at children or young adults been at risk even before they are sexually active.
