There are non sexually transmitted kinds of HPV and sexually transmitted kinds of HPV.
There are over 120 different kinds of HPV; about 30 of those kinds are sexually transmitted.
The kinds that are sexually transmitted are the kinds that cause cervical cancer, genital warts, penile and anal cancer.
The kinds of HPV that are NOT sexually transmitted are the kinds that cause common warts (hand, feet, elbow, and knee warts), planter warts (on the soles of feet) and flat warts (which are found on the face and arms).

There are lots of different types of HPV. That's good that you haven't had sex. Don't have sex until you're married. Even with a condom HPV can be transmitted. It is transferred by skin to skin not bodily fluid. People that have had sex with more then one sex partner are at great risk of getting it. If you want you should get a second opinion. Good Luck

On your foot? Not unless you were putting your toes somewhere they didn't belong. If you're worried go to a health clinic and get tested.
