Lupus is an autoimmune disease and not an STD.

Lupus is not contagious and you cannot pass it on or get infected with Lupus from someone who has it.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease but Lupus is not a form of cancer.

However while Lupus is not a form of cancer patients who do have Lupus are at a higher risk of developing some types of cancer.

The most common types of cancer that Lupus patients get after having Lupus are Cervix Cancer and Lymphoma Cancer.

But not all Lupus patients will get those cancers or any type of cancer.

Some Lupus patients just deal with the Lupus for the rest of their lives and never get cancer.

But just be aware that if you do have Lupus then you might get some type of cancer so you just have to be prepared for that.

It's best to get screened for cancer more often if you do have Lupus.
