The human papillomavirus — more commonly known as HPV — causes more oropharyngeal cancers than tobacco and alcohol use, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.

“This is important because previously HPV was thought to be one of the risk factors for this type of cancer along with tobacco and alcohol use, and now we know that it is the leading cause of this type of cancer,” said Dr. Aimee Kreimer, a professor at the National Cancer Institute and one of the study’s authors.

Oral HPV is transmitted during oral sex and people with multiple oral sex partners are at the greatest risk for contracting the disease, said Kreimer.

Study participants who reported having more than six oral sex partners in their lifetime were 8.6 times more likely to develop the HPV-linked cancer, the study showed.

So much for tastes great-less filling. 😉


Truly,  a revolting development.

    So much for Steak and a Blowjob thursdays.

  4. I hate to hear that. wonder how long before our insurance companies will, if the ACA is repealed by the tea baggers, deny insurance to those who indulge in the finer things in life?

    Reminds me of an article in a medical journal years ago that looked at ‘sore throats” in young women. Turns out STDs were among the most common culprits.

  5. You do know that there is a vaccine for this now right? It seems to work for boys and girls.

  6. Actually I do know there is a vaccine for this. That is one of the things they highlighted was hopefully it would get more people to use it. I’ve also heard its not so effective if its already present.
