Although this is a frightening development, even more disturbing is the fact that there is no test available to determine whether someone is infected with HPV. [The PAP test shows pre-cancerous developments resulting from a long existing infection with HPV.] Therefore, men who are infected can spread it to women via both oral and vaginal sex, and to other men via oral or anal sex. Moreover, this can all take place when there are no observable symptoms.
The HPV vaccine for women is an excellent development but logic would indicate that creating a test to identify those with HPV would be the first step in developing an effective program to teach people about the need to protect themselves. Cancer is just as frightening a prospect as AIDS and men are just as susceptible as women.

When people think they've figured it out, BAM! Another problem arises.
No where to run...
No where to hide.
GOD is fed up with our animal-like lifestyles.
Judgement is here, and that is part of it.
It's time to open the HOLY BOOK (Bible) and turn away from sin.
Yes, I said sin.

Yes! The government does have to mandate sex education in schools.
Intestinal disorders such as crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome are becoming common in young girls who have engaged in oral sex and swallowed a boys semen.
This is an STD cause which is not being addressed by doctors or sexual education classes in schools.
We can save our children from STD, we just have to educate them.
Our children deserve better.

You forgot to mention that syphilis frequently presents with oral lesions. Oral chancres in primary disease and mucous patches in secondary syphilis.
Most cases of pharyngeal gonorrhea are asymptomatic. A rip roaring case would look like any other tonsillitis or pharyngitis. The big danger is dissemination of the gonorrhea to the skin, joints, etc.

Sex education is now designed to rid the population of sexual taboos and therefore health concerns about sexual practices are hidden from children.
Health concerns are where taboos are born. For instance, smoking is now taboo...it is a health threat. Sex is not free and that is why there are many taboos that have grown through the generations around sexual behaviors and lifestyles. Social engineers want to cover up the consequenses of "free" sex in order to disolve taboos. They do it in the name of diversity and civil rights. They don't care about the health of the kids they indoctrinate. Parents beware!!!!!!!
