The information on HPV is growing. There’s a link to lung cancer in non-smokers, anal cancer (the gays are pushing for us to begin to do anal pap smears on gay men), and throat cancers in men and women.

There’s no much penile cancer at all in the US, GloriaJane. That is probably what you heard. It’s believed that the high incidence of circumcision, that leads to the development of different sort of cells exposed, is the reason.

That’s probably also the reason that there’s less oral cancer than might be expected: the mouth is set up to protect us from infections (at least better than the vagina).
