If we're going to vaccinate young girls against the consequences of promiscuity (i.e. HPV), looks like we're going to have to vaccinate everybody. Get ready to fork over more taxpayer dollars, Governor Rounds.
From CTV.ca:
Oral sex has been linked to throat cancer in a new study by the New England Journal of Medicine.
Human papillomavirus (HPV), which can be transmitted during oral sex, is the main cause of oropharyngeal (throat) cancer, researchers found. The study is the first to prove the link.
Researchers found that those with HPV infection were 32 times more likely to develop oropharyngeal cancer -- regardless of the previously established risk factors of tobacco and alcohol use.
