Over a year ago a HPV researcher from Moffitt told me that HPV is one of, if not the, most contagious virus' known to mankind, even more so than HIV. She also said that one could transmit it orally by kissing or even touching the inside of your mouth with your finger. She said oral sex was, in her opinion, only one of the ways to transmit it to the oral cavity.

And yes, I'm sure this site would have never thought that I would have told anyone to calm down over HPV but there is a first time for everything. Guess I'm getting old.

And thanks Brian I'll take you up on the info as soon as I can catch you.
