 中英文稿：
“Human papillomavirus, or HPV, now causes the majority of tonsillar cancers in the United States and many western nations. And the risk of these cancers has been increasing.”
人乳頭瘤病毒HPV，現在引發美國和許多西方國家人群得扁桃體癌。並且這些癌症的風險在逐步增加。

Gypsyamber D’Souza of Johns Hopkins University, February 12th at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, DC.
2月12日，在華盛頓特區美國科學促進會的年度會議上，Gypsyamber D’Souza 發表講話。

“And it’s much higher in men than in women…we know performing oral sex is the main risk factor for oral HPV infection. And our research shows that performing oral sex is more common in younger generations than in previous generations. And that people are not only more likely to have performed oral sex but with more partners and to initiate it at any earlier age. And all of these differences in sexual behavior across age cohorts or generations do explain the differences that we see in oral HPV prevalence and in HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer across the generations and why the rate of this cancer is increasing...
男性患病的幾率要高於女性，我們知道口交是口腔HPV感染的主要危害因素，我們的研究表明，青年一代進行口交的幾率要高於前幾代。這些不止進行口交，且物 件不止是一個人，而且年齡階段也趨於年輕化。這些性行為的年齡差異解釋了口腔HPV以及HPV相關口腔癌在一代又一代人盛行並且為何這種癌症患病幾率在增 加......

“But differences in sexual behavior do not explain the differences that we see between men and women in oral HPV infection and HPV-related cancer…
但是性行為中出現的這種差異並不能夠解釋我們發現的口腔HPV感染和相關癌症在不同性別中出現的差異。

“Men are not only more likely to become infected with oral HPV infection than women, but our research also showed that once you become infected, men are less likely to clear these infections than women. Further contributing to their cancer risk.” Which means that it’s not just girls and women who should get the HPV vaccine.
男性不僅比女性容易感染口腔HPV，而且我們的研究還顯示，一旦感染，男性比女性的治癒率更低，而這又進一步的促進了他們患相關癌症的風險。也就是說不僅僅女孩和女士需要接種HPV疫苗。

“In terms of vaccination of boys, as a researcher who sees the patients with these cancers, the fact that there is a vaccine with great potential to prevent them is very compelling. Our vaccination rates have lagged in boys severely in the States, which is disappointing, but there is a lot of effort to improving that. And I think it’s quite an urgent public health issue to increase HPV vaccination in boys as well as girls.”
研究人員認為，這些癌症的病人，對於接種疫苗的男孩，可以預防這種疾病的疫苗引發人們關注。令人沮喪的是，在美國，男孩疫苗覆蓋率是很低的，但還是可以做許多事情來改善這一狀況。並且我認為，增加男孩接種HPV疫苗，是一項緊迫的公共健康問題。
