It's alright! We love candidates that adore amnesty here on Freerepublic. We also like it when they impose Big government EO mandates on the general population concerning matters of health care. Like vaccines for noncontagious diseases.

We want those people in the party, heck we want them to get the nomination!

HPV is a communicable disease. Your daughter (if you have one) can marry a man who unknowingly carries HPV, and she would never have had done anything wrong, but still ended up infected.

The authors do indeed say "we cannot rule out transmission through direct mouth-to-mouth contact." This issue is further addressed in the accompanying editorial by Stina Syrjänen who is from the University of Turku, Turku, Finland.
"In a study that my colleagues and I performed, involving married couples with healthy oral mucosa (sampling at baseline and at months 2, 6, 12, 24, and 36), the results suggested that the oral route is an important means of HPV transmission between partners: one spouse had a 10-fold risk of acquiring persistent oral HPV infection if the other spouse had persistent oral HPV infection. Oral sex was not associated with oral or genital HPV infection in these studies, and oral HPV infection in one spouse was unrelated to genital HPV infection in the other spouse. In our study and in the study by D'Souza and colleagues [that is the one that appeared in the New England Journal of Med on May 10], however, the patients were different: the couples we studied were younger and had no evidence of clinical lesions in the oropharynx, whereas those in the study by D'Souza and colleagues were older patients who had oropharyngeal cancer."
