Nearly two out of three of these oral cancers in the United States and most western nations are caused by infection with the HPV 16 strain of the virus, and incidence of cancer is on the rise in recent years, said Gypsyamber D'Souza, who teaches epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
Middle aged white men are at particularly high risk compared to other races.

The reason may be that when women are first exposed to HPV vaginally, they mount an immune response that prevents them from getting an oral HPV infection, she said.
But men do not seem to have equally robust immune responses.
"Men are not only more likely to be infected with oral HPV infection than women, but our research shows that once you become infected, men are less likely to clear this infection than women, further contributing for the cancer risk."

The Herp?
Most likely... he seems to get those pretty often.
I don’t know if this is related to what you just said, but... I became a public school teacher about the same time I broke up with my last boyfriend, and I’ve been celibate ever since. We’re talking almost 12 years here. And I never get sick! I’m working with germy inner-city children all day. Okay, I did have a nasty ear infection in 2007, but other than that... never sick. I thought I was just getting tough from working with all these kids, but now I wonder... you know... being celibate...?
Oh, geez, that's a fad that can't go away fast enough. What on earth are people thinking??
...when you start placing restrictions, you limit the possibilities and probably the pleasure
Your choice.
And yet they will recall and destroy 5 million pounds of ground beef if they can link one case of E. coli to one hamburger. Thinking is something our society is losing its grip on.
Lol, I don’t know. My daughter’s preschool teacher also never gets any of these horrible viruses swirling through the classroom!
Maybe you are so immune you could safely “date” every man in the city.... Hahahahaha!
Paging Michael Douglas.
Got fish?
Glad I got my licks in when I was younger and before HIV.
It’s more of an increased risk for cancer due to HPV than it is HIV. Having sex with so many is just not healthy, no matter how much people try to avoid that fact.
No problem for me. I never could eat canned tuna.
Gonna take more than that...
Yours looks like a more complete solution than mine. LOL.
There are rules around here ya know, and what a way to go.
Yeah, I'm very interested in limiting certain unsavory possibilities. I'm not so obsessed with pleasure that I'll venture into the toilet for it.
I respect your choice(s).
I don’t believe God envisioned the body He created as a toilet.
Yep, I had a HS football teammate we used to tease cuz he said, “ if it ain’t cooked, I ain’t eating it”
Not a big Sushi guy?
If you respect my choice, why do you keep trying to have the last word on this? Why did you have to address me at all?
