Ladies..... I must share this finding with you. I first saw this on Good Morning America and I had to make sure to get this information in the open. I remember waking up and seeing a story of a woman who had a persistent itchy soar throat that would not subside. She went to the doctor and told her that she had HPV in her throat which lead to throat cancer. Her doctor told her that it was most likely attributed to Oral Sex.
I am no expert, and I do not claim to be, but what people don't understand is that HPV is passed from woman to woman through a man. Men can not tell when they have been infected with this, so they don't know that they are passing it along. I can not tell you how many times that I have heard of a girl getting "cancer cells" removed from their cervix -- not understanding why. They were in committed relationships or so they thought, and most women in long term committed relationships don't use condoms. Therefore, HPV can be passed through a cheating boyfriend, or a boyfriend who got it from a previous relationship/encounter. Testing for HPV in men is not really standard and it's harder to do .
Another interesting thing about this headline, it that men get throat cancer more than women and I think I read something that said the the rise in the disease went up in the lat 1970's. Porn movement perhaps? I mean -- porn was very up and coming that time and maybe oral sex became more "out there" and openly practiced more? Not sure. I could be wrong. But since men seem to be drawn to it like animals, I can see how they would get it more.
I posted an article on my website. I will post it here for you to see as well. Please ladies, protect yourselves ok.
