What is HPV?!
Question: How does one Get HPV
Answers: How does one Get HPV
HPV stands for human papilloma virus, which is a group of viruses that causes warts on the vulva, vagina, cervix, rectum, anus, penis, or scrotum and less frequently on the mouth or throat.
It's estimated that at any given time, 20 million people in the US have genital warts. Some people can have the virus, but never actually have genital warts.
You can catch HPV by:
Vaginal and anal sex
Skin-to-skin contact (sex play)
Oral sex
You cannot spread it by sharing a razor!! You must have some sort of skin-to-skin contact to spread HPV.
To prevent getting infected with HPV:
practice abstinence
have only one partner who has no other intimate partners
have sex play that does not include vaginal or anal intercourse
use condoms every time
get the HPV vaccine
Condoms do prevent HPV, but HPV can be present in skin that is not covered by the condom. This is why condoms are less effective in preventing HPV than they are in preventing other STDs.
Genetal warts. From having sex with someone who has HPV.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that is transmitted through sexual, skin-to-skin contact. Penetration is not required to transmit the virus from one person to another, just skin contact. It can be passed through vaginal and anal sexual contact, and less commonly, via oral sex.

You can get it from sexual contact or any other skin to skin contact. Condoms do not protect against it and there is no way to check a guy to see if he has it. You can even get it from sharing a razor blade, etc....Some people carry it their who lives and never know they have it. About 80% or more of the worlds population has it.
