I just found out I have the HPV virus but me and my boyfriend both lost our virginity to each other. We had never done anything with any other person, no touching nothing. I am just really confused on how I contracted this virus. Please help

Do you mean HIV? Do you mean the Aids virus? If you do, one reason could be the virus passed on from a mother to a baby during pregnancy and the virus has remained dormant until now.
Sorry, I don't know what HOV means??

He's lying.
Women and men who have any kind of sexual activity involving genital contact with someone with HPV can get it. That means it's possible to get genital HPV without having intercourse. And, because many people who have the virus may not show any signs or symptoms, they can transmit the virus without even knowing it.
HPV is easily transmitted, so any exposure puts you at risk. In fact, it is estimated that many people get HPV within their first 2 to 3 years of becoming sexually active.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the only way to prevent genital HPV is to avoid any sexual activity that involves genital contact. You can help decrease your chances of getting genital HPV by:
Limiting your sexual partners
Staying in a long-term, exclusive relationship with someone who doesn’t have HPV
Using a condom—though it’s unknown how much protection from HPV condoms actually provide

I think your body can create HPV cells, but not sure. I know you really want to believe your b/f, but trust me from past experience, he may not be totally honest with you. Get all the treatments necessary, even if it seems scary. It really isn't too bad and it's very successful. Good luck...

You get it by having sexual relations with someone who has it. You can get it in the genitals, anus, or mouth. Untreated it can lead to certain cancers.
It is amazing, the kids who think it will happen to somebody else or that they are bullitt proof. Wake up people! This is not the only sexually transmitted disease you can get.

Okay, HPV (genital warts) is one of those STIs that can be transmitted by skin touching skin ... and be careful! Because 90% of Cervical Cancer is caused by HPV!
