At my virology class (40 years ago) we did learn about viruses causing cancer and herpes virus was discussed as an example. I refused to share a glass with anybody since than, not that I did that even before that revelation lol. Cold sore virus is closely related to genital herpes virus and actually oral sex can spread first one to "lower" parts, and all in all - I thought "what is safe is safe" lol. HSV1 and HSV2 are very closely related and I wonder if the HSV1 will turn out in the future to be cause of a mouth cancers ? ANYHOW - here is a list of known cancer causing viruses :

Oh man, you said a mouthful?🫣. In our dental practice we saw increasing numbers of young men with oral cancer - tongue, throat, palate.
All were happily married for years - some with teenaged children. It was devastating news on many fronts; firstly, they had cancer - some Stage 4 - and even worse some of the wives perceived their mate’s diagnosis of HPV (a sexually transmitted disease) proof positive of an extra-marital affair!
Thank goodness the maxillofacial surgeons and oncologists had the job of explaining the years of dormancy AFTER initial exposure to the disgruntled wives before the divorce lawyers got involved.
The men were all bewildered, unable to fathom how any of the nice girls they had dated could have given them this disease.
Of course, the gynecologists are in the same boat as well, explaining how one of those nice guys passed on a virus which had resulted in cervical cancer. Glad I’m retired - who knows what’s next??
