Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection, and certain strains of it can increase the risk of throat cancer, particularly oropharyngeal cancer. HPV is transmitted through intimate contact, including oral sex, and research shows that having six or more lifetime partners can elevate the risk of developing throat cancer by up to 8.5 times. This is because the virus can infect the mucosal tissues in the throat, causing cellular changes that may lead to cancer over time.

Most HPV infections resolve on their own, but in some cases, they persist and trigger mutations in throat tissue, leading to tumor formation. The connection between HPV and throat cancer highlights the importance of HPV vaccination, safe practices, and regular medical check-ups to minimize risks and promote early detection.
