I would think, just like with blood donation, there probably is some screening on what human grafts they would accept.
But the problem I see here, is that you cannot detect HPV in men unless they get cancer.
A cadaver could have been a carrier who never developed the cancer.
So this could be an issue no one has considered because head and neck cancer is still relatively rare compared to other cancers.
