Hi and thanks for the query,
HPV is a risk factor as you might know for cancer of the cervix. However, just knowing that one has HPV does not say directly that one has automatically developed the cancer.
The role of the colposcopy is to detect early enough, any changes in the cervix in favor of a development of a possible cancer, to permit early interventions to avoid any complications. It is actually acts like a surveillance system to permit early interventions.
Hope this helps but feel free asking any further questions if need be. Thanks and kind regards,.
