See why you can't leave OCF. You no sooner spell out that unless you are talking about AIDS or HIV, there are not any studies showing that HPV infected partners put their partner at any more risk than non HPV, then Paul puts up links to two studies that if you did not read them, you might think otherwise. Once you read them, you realize that unless you or your partner has AIDS, it is not relevant to the OP's question, but an academic aside. (although they do support Paul's first post that partners with AIDS can catch cancer more than non AIDS). But how many posters here actually click thru and read the study to realize that neither of them address the original question by Nancy. Plus of course Dr. Gillison, with OCF's help, has developed her HPV information quite a lot in the last nine years since that 2004 study cited.

You are so much better and nicer at pointing out that studies cited by posters do not always mean what is implied or are irrelevant to the question.

Of course neither one of those studies contradicts your opinion and mine , it only tells the common sense that AIDS patients get sick from things that non AIDS patients do not, and that would include HPV.

I'm sensitive to this subject, since my little brother died 26 years ago from HIV complications: a common fungus that we all carry but does not kill us. So the "news" that HIV men get more cancers, more diseases seems totally off topic to question posed in this thread.

So to repeat, zero evidence anywhere that partners without AIDS or HIV, but only HPV, have an increased risk of giving each other oral cancer.
