SHIT!
by Pierre Baltadano
We should always practice safe sex but for most guys, including myself, HPV was something that we thought wouldn't really affect us. Well according to new research, HPV-related oral cancers are on the rise amongst men under 40. Oral cancers are more common in older men who have had a long history of smoking or drinking so this is pretty crazy. I've heard that about 50% of sexually active men and women contract HPV at some point of their lives, 10% get more permanent strains of the disease, so those are some crazy odds. So be careful. (I'm such a Debbie downer).
