Explanation / Answer

1. Roger may be at risk of HPV (human papilloma virus) caused warts inside the throat, that may have been transfered through his own body or possibly by Oral S*x. This type of HPV can also turn into oropharyngeal cancer, but only a very few percent of people get this. HPV is known to cause cervix cancer (in 75 percent cases) and an*l cancer.

2. HPV (Human papillomavirus) is the causative factor of vennereal warts on genitals, which is a STD (sexually transmitted disease).
