Actually, in 2005 my roommate had a precancerous growth that they told her was from HPV, and told her she had to tell everyone she'd had sex with that they would be giving cancer to all the women they have sex with in the future.
Her doctor was very blunt about knowing exactly what it was and how it spread and what it did. And for ten years before that - just to my knowledge, it may be longer - sexual history has been an evaluative factor in cancer risk for women.
