I took the article to answer your first question with a resounding No. The way I read it implied that it was males giving females oral sex that causes OC via HPV and not females giving males oral sex especially considering the physical method described. The reference to AIDS scare I took to be when the hetero population learned the Michael Jordan defense: too many women. I put those extracts below with bolded emphasis.
[quote]The virus can be contracted through oral sex when it is lodged in a woman's vagina. The virus then becomes trapped in the soft tissue and tiny pockets of the tonsils and base of tongue, where it gradually can cause cancer.

Men are far more likely to contract HPV-caused tonsil and base-of-tongue cancer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a study from 1998 to 2003 found men were more than three times as likely to acquire them.

Lydiatt said DNA testing of tonsil and base-of-tongue cancers now reveals the presence of the virus in the majority of those cases. The virus appeared in less than one-quarter of those cases 30 years ago, he said.

Lydiatt said the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the AIDS crisis beginning in the 1980s led to more oral sex, which is mistakenly viewed as safe sex. He said the virus also can probably be transmitted through French kissing.

Dr. Robert Haddad, a head and neck cancer specialist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, said the link between the virus and cancers of the tonsil and base of tongue is clear.

�We know that the incidence is rising significantly,� Haddad said. He attributed it to sexual behaviors such as oral sex and people having multiple sex partners.
