  An expert has offered their opinion as to why men seem to be disproportionately affected by HPV-related oral cancers. HPV, or human papillomavirus, is an extremely common sexually transmitted infection that sometimes causes no symptoms but can result in genital warts or long-term cancers. As per reports, there are over 200 strains of the virus, and while as many as 90% of infections clear on their own within two years, 14 strains are known to cause precancerous changes or cancer itself. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) claim that around 10 per cent of men and 3.6 per cent of women are known to carry the virus, making it the most common in the US. Perhaps the most well-known case of HPV was that of iconic actor Michael Douglas, who was diagnosed with stage four throat cancer in 2010. Douglas acknowledged publicly that the disease could be linked to oral sex, while also mentioning smoking and drinking as other potential causes. Experts have warned that it can be decades before ...

  My twin brother dragged me out of a burning house and ran back inside to save our dog. He never came out. I spent 31 years believing his loss was my fault. Then on my 45th birthday, a man knocked on my door with my brother's face and said there was something about the fire I'd never been told. The morning of December 14th is always the hardest day of the year for me. My name is Regina, though everyone who knows me well calls me Reggie. I was pouring my first cup of coffee when the knock came. I wasn't expecting anyone. My 45th birthday was not a day I celebrated. For the last 31 years, it had been the day I mourned. My 45th birthday was not a day I celebrated. I set down my cup and went to the door. When I opened it, my heart almost stopped. The man standing on my porch had my late brother's eyes, the same sharp jaw, and the crooked smile that always pulled higher on the left side. He was holding a small bouquet and a sealed envelope. For a long moment, my brain simpl...

My stepmom laughed at the prom dress my little brother made for me out of our late mom's jeans. By the end of the night, everyone knew exactly who she was. I am 17. My brother, Noah, is 15. Our mom died when I was 12. Dad remarried Carla two years later. Then Dad died last year from a heart attack, and the whole house changed overnight. Prom came up a month ago. She took over the bills, the accounts, the mail, everything. Mom had left money for me and Noah. Dad always said it was for "important things." School. College. Big milestones. Apparently, Carla decided her definition of "important" was different. Prom came up a month ago. She was in the kitchen scrolling on her phone when I said, "Prom is in three weeks. I need a dress." "Prom dresses are a ridiculous waste of money." "Mom left money for things like this." "No one wants to see you prancing around in some overpriced princess costume." That made her laugh. Not a rea...
