My Wife and I Have been together for 5 years, A year ago she was diagnosed with cervical cancer she is now im glad to say doing very well. What I would like to know is do I now have an increased risk of contracting any form of mouth cancer as we both enjoyed Oral Sex as part of a healthy sexual relationship. And should I be seeking medical advise?

Hello Mitch

I suggest that your risk is exceedingly small but it pays to be vigilant. I am not sure there is much that your doctor could advise further.

Will let you know what the current thinking is after I consult some knowledgeable colleagues at a conference in two weeks time in Toronto.

Best wishes
