Oral Sex May Cause Cancer
A recent study published by the Johns Hopkins University claims that a virus which can be transmitted through oral sex is the cause of certain types of throat cancers and increases risk factor of developing such cancers more than tobacco or alcohol.
The study does not rule out the possibility of passing such cancers from mouth to mouth but added that more extensive research was necessary to concrete the study which sampled only 300 people.
Co-researcher Dr Maura Gillison, reassured the public saying "People should be reassured that oropharyngeal cancer is relatively uncommon and the overwhelming majority of people with an oral HPV infection probably will not get throat cancer."
