Oral STD infection.

[albertogaga3]

Greetings.

Sorry if you ask me sounds strange, is that I do not speak English well, I speak Spanish.
I present my case:
I am a gay man of 20 years and recently I heard that people who practiced oral sex with more than 6 couples have 250% more likely to have throat cancer caused by HPV.
I have had more or less the number of sexual partners, and I'm a little worried, because I want to be opera singer, I have the voice, I have everything to be, however, I worry a little that in the future I throat cancer develops implementing caused by HPV, and that makes me lose my voice.
Currently I have a steady partner, but I want to have it, so I have raised the following questions:
1.debo oral sex leave to care for my voice?
2.es throat cancer HPV as common as it does the press think?.
3. is opornuto to continue with my studies as a singer?, or should I let the song because of the danger to develop throat cancer?
4. In whom it is most common oral HPV infection in heterosexual men or gay men?
Thank you for your attention, I hope I can guid

Hello

You did well with your english.  You can send me a message, if you need this translation.  I speak spanish.  (Hablo espanol).  But we post publicly so people don't have to ask the same questions or for educational purposes.  


First I want to say, I feel you should talk to a therapist about all this as there is some underlying reason why you are thinking about throat cancer.   I say this to help you.   I hope you do.

The answers to your questions are:

1. I think you asked if you should abstain from oral sex to take care of your voice.   You should have oral sex in moderation.    If you want to take care of your throat, then abstain from excess smoking and alcohol.  


2. Throat Cancer from HPV does happen.  I don't know much about the epidemiology of HPV inducing throat cancer.   I did read a "Rising HPV-related cancers among white men [which] may reflect changing sexual practices."   Whatever that means.  Scientist aren't too sure.  We can speculate oral sex.   Article here  

3. I think you should always follow your dream.   Yes, continue your passion and aspiration to be a singer.  You won't get throat cancer from singing.   Just take care of yourself.

4. "Studies have indicated that men who have sex with men (MSM) have significantly higher rates of HPV and HIV than their heterosexual counterparts "    [Source]
