Oral Sex Is Linked to Throat Cancer
Posted on | May 10, 2007 | 9 Comments
The sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer also sharply increases the risk of certain types of throat cancer among people infected through oral sex, according to a study being published today.
The study, involving 100 people with throat cancer and 200 without it, found that those infected with the human papillomavirus were 32 times as likely to develop one form of oral cancer than those free of the virus. Although previous research had indicated HPV caused oral cancer, the new study is the first to definitively establish the link, researchers said.
And Anti Vaccine supporters are still screaming the vaccine that COULD prevent this should not be mandated?
Why?
People! Teens are having oral sex because they think it’s SAFE sex. Like it or not, you’re going to have to talk to your teen about it and you’re going to have to speak in a way that will likely be uncomfortable, but you MUST get your point across IF you choose to go against the vaccine.
I’d be interested how you’ll respond when you have to tell your child you COULD have prevented this if you hadn’t been such a hard ass fighting politics!
