Many of you may be happy enjoying your active sex lives. It, for you, may be just the perfect using all the required medical precautions, but pause a while to find out how safe it actually is!

Do you know, oral sex may transmit wart virus causing a type of mouth and throat cancer? Also called human papilloma virus or HPV, wart virus can lead to oropharyngeal cancers, and what has left the scientists worried is the rising number of such cases among certain populations.

Do you know, an estimated about 34,360 new cases (24,180 in men and 10,180 in women) of this cancer of the tonsil — also effecting the base of tongue — will be diagnosed in the United States in 2007?

According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 7,550 people (5,180 men and 2,370 women) will die of these cancers in this year itself in the US!

So, in a bid to find a solution to such gruesome aftereffect of oral sex U.S. researchers said suggested men with ‘vaccination’ to battle against the killer sexually transmitted wart virus.

Recommended for young women in Europe and the United States, the HPV-targeting new vaccines may help turn not just the sex-trend around, but also save around 35000 people from the killer-disease.
