    wow.....really?

    HPV is usually sexually contracted ie. a viral STI and now they're saying it causes breast and 'head and neck' cancers...

    "
    There is increasing evidence that high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) is involved in cancers in addition to cervical cancer. For example, it is generally accepted that HPV has a role in a significant proportion of head and neck tumours, and it has long been hypothesised that hormone dependent oncogenic viruses, such as HPV may have causal roles in some human breast cancers."
