I have a question for Dr. Joshi - hello aqgain Dr J. I've been reading recently about a possible link between HPV and oral cancer - what is HPV?
Best regards

Rosie

Hello Rosie

You can read about the human papilloma virus on the MCF main website and about the connection with mouth cancer in in this article I wrote some time ago: Oral Sex and Oral Cancer. You can also read past posts on HPV for more information.

Best wishes

Given the content of one of those links I did find it humorous when you used the phrase

"bottom-line advice".

Maybe it's just my anti-depressants giving me a different perspective on humour again. I drive my family batty sometimes.
