Yes, i thought it was fairly well known that this was a risk of oral sex.

Yes this how Michael Douglas got his throat cancer.

Erm, yeah of course it's right. I thought everyone knew that HPV caused throat cancer.
Don't you remember Michael Douglas? Pleased as fucking punch that he had a near fatal disease that allowed him to boast about his sexual prowess in the oral department.

Yes, it can cause cancer of the tongue, esophagus, throat etc. Which is why it is essential that boys are vaccinated as well as girls.

Yes, it's true. Someone I know had cancer in his tonsil caused by HPV. Hopefully the new HPV vaccine programme will eliminate (or massively reduce) this.

Well you live and learn.
I honestly didn't know that.

Really? Also I thought he took back that his throat cancer was caused by oral sex?

Bruce Dickinson from iron maiden also had it

Well he was waffling on about it endlessly. It's not the kind of comment you can 'take back'.

But it's a well known fact anyway surely? The same strains that cause cervical cancer can cause it in the throat. I think they are the same ones. There are loads. Some cause warts, some do nothing, some can lead to cancer.

I know 3 people with tongue cancer and theirs wasn’t due to HPV but it’s on the rise amongst younger people. There needs to be more awareness.
