As far as I know there is nothing "catching" about prostate cancer. Certain diseases can be transmitted in sperm ( HIV among them) but I do not know of any research about the relationship of prostate cancer to cervical cancer. What does have a connection is HPV , which has two types of the virus that have proven negative outcomes, one is to transmit genital warts and the other is believed to cause cervical cancer.
I am not a medical doctor however, and I think you need to find a physician on medhealth who can be more precise.

Thank goodness! What about having sex during cancer treatments?

Cancer is not an std. If he feels well enough, bang away.
