Oral Cancer in Men Associated With HPV
Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 9:22 am
The sexually transmitted virus called HPV, for human papillomavirus, is well known to lead to cervical cancer in women — which is why the federal government recommends that all girls be vaccinated for HPV at 11 or 12, before they become sexually active.
Now researchers are finding that many oral cancers in men are also associated with the virus.

I wonder if the religious right will now encourage this vaccination to protect their precious boy-children, after having been against it for young girls thinking that it may encourage premarital sex?
