Hi Bonnie - Thank you for your comments and I want to assure you that you are welcome to post on EmpowHER at any time and I encourage you to share your knowledge. You're absolutely right, it is frustrating to be asked the same question over and over.
Some of the frequent questions seem to stem from the confusing way in which the information is relayed to the patient in the first place, and the desire for an instant answer. It's just not that simple.
As long as this thread is, and as much information as it contains, it really does not contain a lot of information about the risks of contracting throat cancer through HPV. New studies show that throat cancer incidences related to HPV and oral sex have gone from 20% to 60%, yet there is very little discussion of this outside of clinical journals.
When you don't know what you don't know then you remain ignorant and unable to take protective measures. We need to continue this conversation for as long as people still have questions. Thanks for your many contributions.
