ORAL sex becomes attractive option for couples making love positions saturated with monotony. Unfortunately, not a few of them know oral sex harmful for health. One of them causes throat cancer.

According to national statistics, most Americans have about oral sex experience. These data obtained from the research for 10 years the American people’s behavior.

Uncle Sam in the country, found more than half of teenagers and about 90 percent of adults aged 25 to 44 years had oral sex with the opposite sex. These data obtained from the survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in 2002.

However, did you know that oral sex behavior can also cause throat cancer. “Yes, you can be contracted throat cancer from oral sex habits,” said Otis Brawley, MD, American Cancer Society Chief Medical Officer, who quoted from WebMD okezone, Tuesday (23/3/2010).

Brawley explains, this disease is caused by the HPV virus that can be transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact, including oral sex behavior.

The study also found that some types of cancer that was in the middle of the throat and tonsils can be caused by a type of human papillomavirus (HPV) specific. HPV is the biggest cause, but HPV does not always cause cancer. If you are not exposed to HPV as oral sex, then you do not risk getting cancer.

Brawley said the link between HPV and throat cancer began in the era of the 1980s and early 1990s. The researchers saw an increase of this type of cancer among people who are not as risky, such as throat cancer increased in people aged 40 years who did not smoke or drink. Whereas in the decade before, the cancer is usually found in parents who smoke and drink a lot.

In the 2000s, researchers used DNA tests to find the HPV type 16 on all new cancers. Brawley, sexual activity is clearly having a big hand in it.

Furthermore, one study published in “The New England Journal of Medicine” in 2007 showed the risk of throat cancer is very large in people who likes to perform oral sex. Oropharyngeal cancer, or known by the name of the mouth and throat cancers found in people who likes to perform oral sex with a sexual partner who is different.

DNA labeling in 16 types of HPV, most often found in cancer patients who have more oral sex partners.

“Not knowing how many people infected with HPV infection in the throat through oral sex, or how many of those affected by cancer of the mouth and throat,” said Brawley.

Nevertheless, continued Brawley, men and women are equally at risk of HPV infection in their mouths and throats.

“It does not discriminate against gender. The people who I thought would be very unlikely to get this cancer, even the first population has this problem, “said Brawley.

The largest population affected by the mouth and throat cancer are heterosexual men aged 40 to 50.

“You know, after all oropharyngeal cancers caused by HPV is more easily treated than those caused by other factors, such as smoking and drinking,” said Brawley.

Expanding the use of HPV vaccine could be one approach to the development of this type of cancer.

“I’m not sure that we have enough studies to draw a conclusion that this is a reason to vaccinate HPV in boys,” Brawley added.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the HPV vaccine for boys aged 9 to 16 years. However, this action is only to help prevent genital warts in children and adolescents, not the way to reduce HPV infection due to oral sex behavior of their
