Can a man get throat cancer by having oral sex with a wo?

Possible: If you consider transmission of human papilloma virus which studies have linked to cancer. If your partner has hpv, consult with your physician regarding risks. Smoking, excessive drinking, exposure to asbestos and hpv are all causes of throat cancer.
