Wow that's news to me. What state are you in? How are these mouth cancers detected and how many are we talking about? I thought it took years and years for cancer from HPV to show up. 18 seems pretty young.
I just googled it and read a lot about it-seems to hit men a lot more. I guess that just means we need to preach abstinence even more!!
