HPV gains as source of oral cancer in men, study finds

"ATLANTA — The sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women is poised to become one of the leading causes of oral cancer in men, according to a new study.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) now causes as many cancers of the upper throat as tobacco and alcohol, probably due to an increase in oral sex and the decline in smoking, researchers said.

The only available vaccine against HPV, made by Merck, is given only to girls and young women. But Merck plans this year to ask government permission to offer the shot to boys.

Experts said a primary reason for male vaccinations would be to prevent men from spreading the virus and help reduce the nearly 12,000 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed in U.S. women each year. But the new study should add to the argument that there may be a direct benefit for men, too."

Men are responsible for spreading HPV? Women are responsible for causing oral cancer in males? I'm confused.
