Over 70% of cervical cancer is caused by HPV. Some sources list it as up to 80%. So, no, HPV is the biggest cause. I'm not even sure another cause has been identifed (other than random mutation).

Yes, there are other causes of cervical cancer besides HPV.

I had cervical cancer as a result of a pregnancy. Apparently all the drastic change to my cervix developed 'abnormal tissue'. But my gyno caught it early. That's all I know.
