The good and the bad: The good news is that teens and college students are already vaccinated for HPV (right?), and probably have a lower chance of mouth/throat/nose cancers from HPV than people from the prior generation. The bad news is worrying about an episode of oral sex 4 years ago. More good news is that teen oral sex and a couple of barium studies will not cause a noticeable change in oral cancer likelihood.
