Because there's no set incubation time, it is very difficult to tell who you got HPV from. Personally, I don't know who I got it from. If you've had two partners in the past that seem questionable, you'll probably never be able to know. But, some ways of narrowing it down are:
- you can not get HPV from someone who was a virgin when you had sex (providing he/she has not had previous sexual contact of an intense nature, such as rubbing genitals with someone else)
- if someone you were sleeping with had a lot of partners (or even a few), this is a good indication
- if you had a long-time partner for years, and then you had a short-term one, and a few months later got HPV, then it is likely you got it from the short-term one, although that's not a sure indication.
- HPV takes at least a couple of months to show up. Someone you just slept with last week didn't give it to you.
