Bad news for Lesbians.

Bad news for all women.

My gynecologist, as well as my mother, who was a public health nurse, told me that the Human Papilloma Virus is transmitted from men to women, usually never affecting the man, but showing up in women as abnormal pap smears, which can lead to cervical cancer. It stands to reason women might have an elevated risk of oral cancer if, well...you know.

I was also told by a physician that even though it is possible to transmit HIV by Heterosexual sex contact, the man a majority of the time will not contract it while the women share a much higher chance of being infected.
