I was inspired by this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... Some things you may not know about HPV:
1. There are over 200 types known. 30-40 cause visible wart symptoms. The rest, well, can cause "minor" things like.... cancer.
2. Hence, you can get cancer without ever having a wart. You can also *give* cancer without ever having a wart. Yes, this goes against standard thought, you can't really "catch" cancer the way you catch a cold, unless your preferred method of catching a cold is by having unprotected sex with somebody who shows no symptoms of a cold.
3. 70-80 percent of *everybody* in the US has it, had it, or will get it. Read that again. If you are a virgin, who married a virgin, and both of you never kissed, let alone had oral sex or intercourse with another person, you may be okay. Maybe.
