Reply to comment by Norklander in Can doctors tell when cancer is caused by something specific, such as smoking or chemicals? by [deleted]

Yeah, I know and the strict Christians refused vaccination based on the virgin principle too.

But still the doctors I know would want some explanation about that virginity, and consider oral sex 'sexually active' for example.

Yes it’s a tricky subject but the consensus among clinicians and epidemiologists is that HPV is not an STI and shouldn’t be treated as such, but it doesn’t stop people deliberately confusing it for their own ends which is unfortunate.
