While not really new news, read This CNN Article to find out how HPV can lead to esophageal, oropharyngeal and pharyngeal cancers.

Quote:
HPV is thought to cause 1,700 oropharyngeal, or throat, cancers in women and 6,700 oropharyngeal cancers in men each year, according to the CDC. Tobacco and alcohol use may play a role in who develops cancer from the virus, the government agency notes.

A 2011 study found that the proportion of oropharyngeal cancers related to HPV increased from 16.3% to 71.7% between 1984 and 2004. Data presented that same year at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting suggested HPV was overtaking tobacco as the leading cause of oral cancers in Americans under the age of 50.

The virus is transmissible regardless of whether the sexual contact is heterosexual or homosexual.

Man! Talk about the "Kiss of Death"!

The most recent studies have merely added more evidence to the claim HPV causes cancer in areas other than the reproductive organs.

Watch what you put into your mouth...

Ok. I was just puzzled and started to wonder if I had mixed HPV up with something else.

Read what Michael Douglas (the actor) had to say about this matter. It was a riot.

Oh but Lordy, Michelle Bachmann has warned us that the vaccine for the Human Papilloma Virus will cause mental retardation!

Is eating out Catherine Zeta Jones worth the risk of cancer? You bet it is!

I heard Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN today say that the cancer had taken so many years to grow from the virus that it's unlikely that Catherine was the source.

Now Iam wondering what Catherine Zeta Jones is thinking of her husband seeing as how he has announced to the whole world that he caught a sexual disease from eating p****, because she is going to know that the whole world now thinks she is a VD vessel.

The good news is that now that HPV is linked to cancer in hetero white men, all legislative objections to routine HPV vaccination will fall away.

Why were there legislative objections in the first place? I thought that some parents objected to the daughters getting vaccinated for the stupid reason and idiotic reason that they thought that they thought it would encourage promiscuity.

Fundies would rather see their daughters get the virus and possibly get cancer than see them have sex.

IMHO, those fundies are but one step removed from those psychos who would immolate their daughters for "shaming the family."
