    Immunology on the .Org?! I have a massive exam on this stuff tomorrow, let me be!

    Speaking of oral sex and STDs, apparently it dramatically increases the risk for an extremely lethal form of oral cancer to have oral sex if the receiver has human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus which seems to be very much spread in western society today (but it isn't as lethal as HIV unless during oral sex, when it is transmitted to the oral cavity and causes cancer).
    A tentative link between oral cancer and HPV has been established, but it has been established beyond a shadow of a doubt that it causes cervical cancer.
