Oral sex can cause throat cancer - 09 May 2007 - New Scientist
From the article:
The new findings should encourage people to consistently use condoms during oral sex as this could protect against HPV, the team says.
That's going to go over well with groups such as American teens, for whom this activity presumably carries the benefit of requiring no contraception. Gay men won't like it either, and I think it is safe to assume that this is one warning that will have little effect on behaviour.
It's also safe to assume that warning people of a very rare cancer will, indeed, have very little effect on behaviour. Nor are any doctors advocting that it should.
