My sister has salivary gland cancer and that is what has brought me to this board. I've been seeing more and more posts as I scroll through various topics on the relation of HPV to oral cancer. Is there any definitive research that I can access? I ask because I've been battling cervical dysplasia and have been identified as having high risk HPV. I found a wonderful doc who used natural vitamins and minerals to get my paps back to normal. In the meantime, I'm a freelance article writer and am doing a series of articles on this subject. I just hadn't come across the relation of oral cancer to cervical issues as it relates to HPV. I'm currently waiting on an interview with a doctor and I'd asked only one question in relation to oral sex on this subject. I'm curious if there are studies or if it's such a new issue that there aren't any definitive answers yet? I'm in a 20 year monogomous relationship so this is personally vital to me. If there's something we should or shouldn't be doing, I definitely want to know!
