Is cancer contagious sexually?

Someone was talking about different types of infections and it got me thinking. Is it possible for cancer to be contagious through sexual contact? I'm asking out of general curiosity.

Cancer itself is not sexually transmitted. However, certain viruses like HPV can be passed sexually and cause cancer later, as my doctor explained.

No, it's not. Keep working out and maintaining good personal hygiene to stay safe and healthy.

No, it is not contagious. Keep your body pure with good diet, but always see a doctor for serious concerns.

It is not contagious. Just remember to have regular health follow-ups and tests done for complete peace of mind.
