Description/
Intervention:		The goal of this behavioral research study is to find out if certain sexual
behaviors increase the risk for developing head and neck cancer by infection
with a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV-16). Knowing this information
could help doctors in preventing the disease in certain people by educating
patients about certain risk factors and eventually vaccinating people against
HPV-16.
.
Study Objectives / Outcomes
1.1. To determine whether high-risk sexual behaviors are more common in patients with oropharyngeal cancer than in patients with head and neck cancers of other sub-sites.

1.2. To determine if high-risk sexual behaviors are more common in patients with HPV (human papillomavirus) associated head and neck cancer than those without evidence of HPV-16 infection.
