RE: cervical cancer traces
Cervical cancer is most often caused by HPV (human papaloma virus) which is an std. Any and all stds can be transmitted through ANY type of contact that invovles bodily fluid. I would probably say that you are safe in finguring, but it is possible. However, you need to know that cervical cancer can happen whether you have hpv or not. It can happen whether there is sexualactivity or not. I would suggest gardasil and reg doc visits for anyone engaged in any type of sexual activity.

Washing of hands is a NECESSITY, as is any other means used - toys, penis, ect. Not really bc of cancer, but penetration of anything can cause tears in the vaginal wall and also on the penis. If the objects used are not cleaned before hand it can cause infections.

I dont know about alcohol for sure. Im not even sure that most spermicides will claim 100%.

There is no fool proof way of knowing if the other person is std free without tests, and it sounds like you are not going to the doc so... never stake your physical health on someone else's word that they are a virgin.

Cervical cancer traces? That sounds like Abnormal Cells. Which means, the cells on her cervix are altered slightly. I think it is totally jumping the gun to think of a hysterectomy, as that is major surgery. The other ways that abnormal cell growth is dealt with a much less invasive and cause a lot less grief.

A lot of women have these procedures and don't actually get cervical cancer, once the bad cells are removed, things are fine. Just make sure she keeps getting her pap smears.

Fibroid tumors are benign. The word tumor sounds scary, but there is nothing harmful about fibroid tumors. They are an annoyance at worst.
