The person you have been with could have had it to begin with or cheated on you.

that one person you were with had HPV
Prevention:
Total abstinence is the only fullproof way of avoiding genital warts and other STDs. You can also avoid STDs by having a monogamous sexual relationship with a partner known to be disease-free.
Skin near the warts and around the genitals, anus, and other areas can pass the virus from one person to the next. Therefore, male and female condoms cannot fully protect you.
Nonetheless, condoms should still be used. They reduce your chances of getting or spreading STDs.
These precautions must be taken at all times. HPV can be passed from person to person even when there are no visible warts or other symptoms."
The only way HPV is transmitted is through sexual contact. If someone told you that they were only with one person they're lying. Although warts are common in HPV, it could take years for them to develop. In women you might not be able to see them if they do exist at.
RARELY the virus can be transmitted to a newborn during delivery...RARELY. Most of the time these viruses run their course with the infected persons never even knowing that they have it, so even those rare occassions that an infant was infected it is RARE that they would grow to sexual active age and still have it.

Your partner may have been infected with HPV, and has had no symptoms. As a virus, it can lay dormant in the body until something like stress brings it out. So unless you have tested negative previously, and now test positive, there is a good chance that you or your partner have been carriers for the disease without knowing it.

If your other partner has been with others before you it is quite possible to contract it from them.
Don't fret too much I have heard that around 75% of people have a variation of the HPV in their system.
Once the initial symptoms abate they should not return.
Keep in mind there are somewhere around two hundred strains of HPV so it still is prudent to be careful.

I had only one partner for 37 years. Then, I went to get my annual PAP. Bingo, I had HPV. My husband " had" his co-worker & my friend for over a year. It broke my heart and my family apart. I had a nervous breakdown. In addition, I had to have three leap procedures and finally a hysterectomy.
Please see your MD as soon as possible.Your partner and his whore might have had it and never known it. It can heal on its own. Never take chances go every year or more often if your doctor advises. I am glad I did. I could have died. You are the most important person take care!!

The types of HPV that infect the genital area are spread primarily through genital contact. Most HPV infections have no signs or symptoms; therefore, most infected persons are unaware they are infected, yet they can transmit the virus to a sex partner.

My fiancee and I just went though this. If at lest one partner has had more than one sexual partner, then the changes of spreading the virus is there. Even though there is no cure, as long as you do not change partners, you will both build up an immunity to the virus you both share.

But who else has your sexual partner been with? Actually, HPV can be caught from using the same bath towel as someone who has an active case-its not 100% sexually transmitted.

using no protection with an infected partner is all it takes. i beleive that when you are finished with sex you should clean your privates inside. i also beleive that possible bruising of the cervix which can cause some bleeding can have adverse effects.many doctors in the female organ field dont like for women to use a douche but i think that if a woman cleans herself internally she may be helping herself. this is just one mans theory and i will stick to it.

Anyone can become HIV +ve if they have unprotected sex with an infected partner or they get injection with an infected needle.
Also, if ever you may have had blood transfusion and the blood was not tested for being HIV +ve, then it could be possible that that blood contained the virus.
So, its not just that your patner was infected but at some point of time you must have recieved an injection by a needle or recieved some blood.
