Welcome Deep Throat. I'm sorry for your troubles. You're correct that more awareness needs to be mentioned of the increased HPV rate in HIV population for oropharyngeal cancer, in addition, even in non HIV, info still lacking with the public that it's a STD that can cause cancer in the throat. From what I recall, it's a 6 fold or more increased rate, plus other negative factors with treatment, recurrence rate. Last week I saw an article for a higher rate with lesbians with HPV. Anyway, there is some, maybe limited, info out there.

Even in non HIV, oropharyngeal cancer is usually found in the late stages, misdiagnosed initially or thought as a infection where antibiotics are often prescribed at first.
