Now back on topic
With all of the stories on HPV and oral sex causing cancer, here is some important information from. Dr. William Lydiatt, division chief for head and neck surgical oncology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

[quote]Lydiatt said it may take some 20 years for HPV in the tonsil or tongue to turn into cancer. He said that even though the numbers are going up considerably, the odds of getting the cancer remain extremely slim.

Those odds increase, however, if a person has many sex partners. Abstinence obviously is the most reliable way to avoid transmission of the virus, Lydiatt said. Monogamy also provides considerable protection, he said.[/quote]

Here is the news article I excerpted that from
