Especially the cancers not advertised (ie not cervical cancer).
The same thing happened to a family member. HPV was dormant in her body for ~20 years. Found a lump on a lymph node that wasn't going away, turns out it was cancer. There were a few tumors in and around her neck, lost her thyroid too, but at least we didn't lose her. During her treatment is when we found out that it can be dormant in your body and that people can be carriers with no symptoms.
