Hmnn, got your attention. Just a quick excerpt from the Continuing Medical Education Certification on OPSCC HPV+ Cancer on why Monogamy and Faithfulness are your best bet:
(yea! I even got a certificate from Medscape for getting all the answers right: #39663878)
[quote]For example, in contrast to smoking-related cancers, there is no evidence that dose [ie, the amount of exposure to carcinogens or other risk factors] is important in HPV-positive disease. For smoking-related cancers, the number of cigarettes you smoke, the amount of time that you smoked, and the intensity of smoking all increase the risk of developing a malignancy in the oral cavity. Whereas in HPV-positive HNC, although there is an increased risk with increasing numbers of sexual partners and certain sexual acts, there is no evidence that the number of sexual acts one engages in with the same partner alters the rate of development of HPV -- even if the partner and the affected individual are HPV infected.
