At this time I am not aware of this has ever been scientifically proven to jump from female genital to throat in the same person. More is unknown about HPV than is known. There is still so much to learn! While HPV is a common virus with about 80% of the US population getting this, most successfully clear the virus. Only a very small percentage will go on to have any serious health issues. This can be prevented!!!! By vaccinating every child prior to them becoming sexually active this virus can be stopped. The Guradisil series of 3 shots are currently available for boys and girls ages 12-26. I urge all parents to get their children vaccinated young so they will never have to deal with this concern or worse HPV caused oral cancer.
