Curious to find out how a man gets the HPV virus and transmits it to his partner. Can HPV enter the picture when both partners are virgins to begin with, and never stray from one another?

Yes you can. Some kinds of HPV including genital warts, hand and feet warts can be spread by simply rubbing against them. You don't need to have sex with someone to get HPV.
If he has had a girlfriend before, and she had HPV, if they had rub genital areas together, he could get the virus. Even if she had them on her hands (which is more rare) and they held hands together he could get the virus. He doesn't need to show any signs or symptoms of the virus to have it.
I have had HPV for 5 years, and about 6 months ago I got genital warts. It can take months if not years to show any signs of the virus!
Bottom line, you can get HPV by skin to skin contact, even if you are a virgin. You don't need to have sex to get HPV.

Also, HPV is NOT a blood disease like the guy above said. It is only spread by sex and direct skin to skin contact, not blood.

HPV is a STD that gets transmitted through direct skin to skin contact. Even if genitals of one person are rubbed against the genitals-or mouth- of another infected person there will be a chance for the virus to be transmitted. Also a mother could infect her child if she has genital warts in her vagina while delivering a baby but this is so rare.
If both partners are vergins and have never had any adult-sex-play with anybody before then both of them can never have HPV in their genitals.
Note that other types of HPV that causes hands or feet warts do not infect genitals.
However you should always use protection

no, hpv is only contracted by sex. a doc told me that a good way to get it is if a man sleeps with a women who has it, and then sleeps with another woman without showering in between.

Yes., this is one of the reasons of the new vaccine that are to be given to girls around age 11. No previous sexual contact is needed to pass on the virus.
