The reason we are seeing more people with mouth, throat, and tonsils cancer is the HPV virus. The good news is, out of around 200 strains of HPV, only 12 (thus far) have been shown to cause cancer. The bad news is, 8 out of ten people will of contracted the virus during their lifetime. Many will shake the virus off, others will get a harmless form of HPV that will never lead to cancer and some will be the unlucky ones who get a ‘high-risk’ HPV infection.
I believe every adult should know their HPV status and I say this because most people never have any symptoms until its too late.
