HPV Causes Oral Cancer In Men

Gee, wonder how that happens?

And, I wonder if men will be a little more willing to scramble to make sure everyone has access to the HPV vaccine now that they know they can GET IT FROM HAVING ORAL SEX. With a woman that has HPV. Who may not know she has it.

Guys, we are talking about cancer. In your mouth.

The sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women is poised to become one of the leading causes of oral cancer in men, according to a new study.

The HPV virus now causes as many cancers of the upper throat as tobacco and alcohol, probably due both to an increase in oral sex and the decline in smoking, researchers say.

Cowboy up and let go of your high and mighty objections to giving the vaccine to teenage girls.

And, quit listening to your weirdo right wing friends who rant and rail against something that is a no-brainer.

This reminds me of what women know - that if men got pregnant, we sure as hell wouldn't be having any anti-choice discussions.
