Can a 12 year old get cervical cancer?
Of course.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women under 35 but accounts for only around 2% of all cancer in women a a whole. Most cases of cervical cancer are seen in sexualy active women, especialy those who married young or started to have sex young. Condom usage reduces the risk of cancer and precancerous changes to the cervix. However, there are some data to suggest that daughther's of women who developed cervical cancer are more likely to develope it too, although at this time we do not know of any genetic faults which could cause cervical cancer. It is suggested that the vast majority of cases are due to HPV, a virus which is sexually contracted and very common although it is also suggested that babies born to women with HPV infection may contract the virus at birth.
In summary, most cases of cervical cancer are in non-virgins but there is a small chance of developing the disease by non-sexual HPV infection or other as yet unknown events.

Could high blood pressure cause high blood protein?
The type of protein measured in blood is often the protein involved with the immune system. High levels of protein in the blood can be due to many factors, depending on the type of protein present. Normally, your blood contains relatively small amounts of millions of types of proteins, which help fight infection. Causes of elevated levels of protein in blood include: * Infection * Chronic inflammation * Certain bone marrow diseases, such as multiple myeloma, amyloidosis and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) A diet high in protein doesn't cause an elevated protein level in the blood. However, in cases of severe malnutrition, overall blood protein can be decreased. Further testing can help pinpoint the cause of high levels of protein in blood.

First, the HPV subtypes that cause genital warts are not the types that typically cause cervical cancer. Second, cervical cancer is a slowly-developing disease that is easily prevented through regularly scheduled cervical screening, like pap smears.
Is a bj safe with out a condom?
In a short answer, no. But seeing as most people are oblivious to this I shall elaborate on that answer. It is not widely known that a woman performing the oral could, if they have it, pass on a virus.
The HPV is ,female readers may already know what HPV stands for, human papillomavirus. It may be said that many men and women may know it as the cervical cancer virus.
Now there is already strong research showing that HPV can cause cervical cancer, but also other various forms of cancers including anal cancer, penile cancer and cancer of the vulva.
But new research is starting to paint a strong picture that HPV could also be responsible for many cases of mouth and throat cancer and some scientists are starting to think that in the next couple of decades mouth and throat cancer will overtake cervical cancer as the most common cancer caused by HPV. But it gets worse.
The research into this is still taking place but it would seem that a woman carrying HPV could herself be safe from any ill effects but once the virus is transmitted via oral sex then the HPV becomes hyper active in the males body and then there is quite a high risk that the male will then develop symptoms that would indicate the on set of mouth or throat cancer over the next few weeks or months.
There is even a hypothesis that argues the HPV actually alters the females behavior making her more likely to perform oral so as to increase the chances of the HPV being passed to the male.
So needless to say the best thing to do is get yourself checked and your partner but failing that I will fall back on 1 of my older brother's favorite sayings.
"Don't be a fool, protect your tool."
It can be painful for your family members to see you like that but if you meant you, yourself can feel pain then no, but its a very scary situation.

How does immune function impact on the development of malignancy?
If you have a weak immune system, you have an increased risk of developing malignancy. Your immune system cannot fight the virus and so the virus has control and it able to invade the cervical cells and induce tumour growth.
no it doesn't it just feels like a little prick in your arm and you get numbness and you may feel a bit achy in your arm which you had the jab in, i had mine in April 2009
