@lcreel44 any kind of sex can cause it. it is a sexually transmitted virus. most people clear it in a year of two, but some of us are not so lucky. after treatment for cancer my radiologist said I should be clear of the virus and after testing for it, it would seem he is right. have my last test coming up next week. tests are done 6mo, 9mo. year. they used to think that if you had oral sex that was how you got it and if you had anal sex that was how you got anal cancer. they now know that is wrong.
