How do people get genital HPV?
HPV viruses are microscopic and pass through tiny breaks in the skin. If you are sexually active, you are exposed to genital HPV through vaginal, anal, or oral sex play. HPV can be transferred from the vagina to the anal area. Vaginal intercourse is not necessary to contact HPV. Women who have sex with women get HPV. As well, people who have had only one sexual partner can get it.
