Of course, for years, the CDC has downplayed HPV--IMO, because condoms didn't prevent transmission and they hated to admit that.
Now that the HOV vaccine is out, they love to talk about it, but then there's this discovery!

When will we read that it is more common in queers or will we ever see the truth?

Is there a vaccine for this nasty? I’ve heard of vaccination for females, but I’ve wondered why males are left out. Any specific reasons?

Thanks for the ping to the article on herpes and brain cancer. I had seen it earlier, though- I’m on neverdem’s ping list.

I don't know, but when I worked a Roche Labs, now known as Lab Corp back in 1990, they told us that HPV didn't cause cancer in males. Only small flat warts on their ..... So that's a good question as to if males get the throat cancer or not.

Good question. I’ve heard that homosexual men are more prone to various anal and rectal related problems, but that tends to get covered up. There are a number of types of infections they tend to get, not just AIDS and HIV. But these others don’t get talked about much at all.

I don't know, but when I worked a Roche Labs, now known as Lab Corp back in 1990, they told us that HPV didn't cause cancer in males. Only small flat warts on their ..... And they also thought the same about cervical cancer way back when. They now know that HPV can lead to anal and penile cancer. Though the efficacy of the vaccines is unknown, some men are getting vaccinated "off-label."
Note that the "cancer vaccines" that they push are actually HPV vaccines, since without the HPV women don't get cervical cancer (other than a very few exceptions). So this vaccine wouldn't help for the throat cancer of Baby Boomers...since they are already infected with the HPV.
And note that nearly half of women who used condoms still caught HPV...and there are many strains. It's easy to get confused between them and their effects--the current vaccines prevent only a few strains.
Note, I am not a doctor. (but I can play one! ;-)

The costs of getting a vaccine or medication approved are ridiculous...the FDA is out of control. Targeting women only was a good cost-saving measure, since HPV-related cancer rates are low for men. Besides, if infected men keep passing it on to women, there's a constant market for it. (Not entirely facetious there)
It's interesting to note that Herpevac, the vaccine for HSV, is not effective for men. Not sure what that might mean for the HPV vaccines.

Can this be transmitted both ways in heterosexuals? I mean ... hypothetically ... she had HPV ... guy did her ... she did guy... guy gets HPV ... she can get throat cancer? ... guy can get throat cancer? Good grief.

You did a very good job. LOL But you know all this just makes one wonder how many other cancers are caused by viral infections.

A poster up the way on this thread said it something about homosexual men being the big sufferers.
My first thought was woman who give oral sex and female prostitutes who probably do allot of oral sex.
IMO it cant be a one group of sexual pref. cancer.

I'm suprised a major MSM outlet like The Chicago Tribune would mention
even the possibility that the liberated sex lives of
The Sixties and Seventies could lead to deadly outcomes.

The bracketed part of the headline actually came from another version on this article, but it seemed too good to pass up.

Merck is going for approval for men, but that won’t help those already infected.
