      HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) has been found to be a much stronger risk factor for the eventual development of throat cancer than is tobacco or alcohol use. HPV is primarily transmitted by oral sex. A small study of 300 people at Johns Hopkins University showed that people who have had oral sex with more than six partners have nine times the risk of developing throat cancer as do persons who have had less than six oral sex partners.

      Persons who have had clinical evidence of a prior oral infection with HPV have a 32x increased risk of developing throat cancer.

      Although smoking and drinking have been thought to be the primary risk factors for throat cancer, study participants who also smoked or drank did not suffer an increased risk of throat cancer beyond that presented by exposure to HPV alone.

      A particular strain of HPV, HPV-16 is primarily identified with throat cancers. Of 100 men and women with oropharyngeal cancers, 72% had demonstrable HPV-16 virus within their tumors.

      HPV is the virus which causes genital warts and cervical cancers. A vaccine is available to protect against HPV strains 6, 11, 16, and 18, but it is very expensive, and American health insurance plans will only cover the cost of vaccination in some young women.

      The Johns Hopkins study did not report whether throat cancers are more common in gay men.
