Brief Answer:
The percentage of oral cancer when cervical HPV is detected is very low.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Human papilloma virus is a very common virus.
Most type of HPV are not harmful.
So, the risk of oral cancer depends on the type of HPV virus. HPV 16 and 18 are the most cancer causing types of HPV.

I suggest you to test what type of HPV virus is present in the cervix.
Meanwhile, I suggest you not to worry about it.
The percentage of oral cancer when oral HPV is detected is very low.

You can use natural treatments for anxiety such as chamomile or lavender.
You can also try over the counter medications like Ativan in case you will need it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
