Cervical cancer virus can be transmitted in same-sex relationships, report reveals
POSTED: Mon 25 January 2010The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) that is present in almost 100% of cervical cancer cases can be transmitted in same-sex relationships, according to a new report.
Although some lesbians may never have had a relationship with a man, there is a strong chance a partner may have. Research shows that 80 per cent of lesbians have had a sexual relationship with a man at some stage in their life. Any exchange of bodily fluids can pass the HPV between two people, so a woman could contract the infection from her partner.
