HPV is cause by a virus. The virus sheds from a person that has the virus the virus enters a microabrasions (small scratch or truma of the skin or cervical vulva perianal or anal tissue) of its host the virus then replicates changing cells or causing an overgrowth of tissue causing a wart.
I remember searching info regarding early sex and I will paste what I found. I can't give you the link because I didn't save it.
You can acquire a genital HPV infection from your first sex partner if that sex partner has had sex with another person. The virus is very contagious.
ACOG states the risk for cervical cancer:
Your risk for cancer of the cervix depends on your sexual history, your immune system, your health, and your lifestyle. This is because cancer of the cervix is linked with HPV. You have an increased risk if you:
Have had sex with more than 1 person or have a male sexual partner who has had sex with more than 1 person (the more partners you have, the higher the risk)
First had sex at an early age (younger than 18 years)
Have a male sexual partner who has had a sexual partner with cervical cancer
But what we mean is less than 18. I think that there are several reasons why this is and I have a slide of one here. For one reason, the squamocolumnar junction that we’ve been talking about, in younger women and girls, is located on the outside of the cervix and this may be an area that is more susceptible or accessible to carcinogen that might be sexually transmitted. Also, younger women, when they go through menarche or when they begin having menstrual periods, there are extremely high levels of estrogen in their body and there’s more rapid squamous metaplasia going on at the squamocolumnar junction. If you inject an carcinogen into that environment at that very sensitive time it’s more likely to do damage to the DNA of the cells that ultimately could lead to cancer and not be repaired. So this is the thinking behind that.
Good luck to you.

HPV is human papilloma virus and it is a sexually transmitted disease. There are a variety of different types of HPV and some are harmless and others increase the risk of developing cervical cancer (in women) or genital warts (in everyone). Scientists are still studying the virus and there's a lot more to be learned about it.
We believe that HPV is not as well stopped by condoms as other sexually transmitted diseases and for this reason, it is quite widespread. The main risk factors for infection are as you've noted - early start to intercourse and multiple sexual partners. This makes sense given that the virus is spread by sex.
Although condoms are not perfect in their ability to prevent the spread of HPV, they ARE better than nothing. In addition, condoms are very good at preventing the spread of HIV and that by itself is a good reason to use them.
HPV infection is often a chronic lifelong infection but it can be managed. Regular pap smears for women can pick up the pre-cancerous changes of cervical cancer, allowing treatment long before the onset of cancer. Genital warts can be treated as well.
Of interest is the new vaccine called Gardasil. It protects against the types of HPV that most often cause cervical cancer. Right now it's licensed only for women but it may end up being part of the regular series of shots for everyone.

yes it can. but it could be something else. i got high risk hpv 3 months ago. but my paps are normal, im just carrying the virus for now. theres a 90% chance that your body will fight it off. and the better immunity you have the better. the other 10% will keep it the rest of their lives and half of them may get cervical cancer. get tested every year. its pretty normal to get hpv, 80% of people have had it once in their lives. its like chicken pox. good luck!

I don't think its in any case from having sex at a young age, more like having unprotected sex with multiple partners could increase your chances, thats if they have hpv. They should tell you they have it before you start having sex, its the respectful thing to do.
