David doesn't stay on line 24/7. He does try to work occasionally besides both Brian and Gary answered all the questions to the best of anyone's knowledge on HPV so nothing I can add nothing except I encourage anyone Dx'ed with SCC of the tonsils or BOT to get tested for HPV. Maybe anyone Dx'ed with SCC would be better.

Ray your question #1...don't you think oral sex could explain it for OC or vaginal sex for Penal Cancers? I have also been told kissing can as well for OC.
