I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I really do think that it may be transmitted through toilet seats.

Well, except that the more sexually active you are, the higher your chances are of getting it. So it can't be the seats.

Statistically speaking that is... It seems some people on this website got it and they weren't having that much sex - including me!!! I personally don't think I got if from a toilet seat, but you can have a sad sex life like mine and get HPV. By the way all my other STD results were negative...

I remember reading a few cases of virgins getting it that had no sexual encounters at all. I do think there are other ways just not well documented. This is one of the most common disease/virus that nobody knows anything about. It's quite frustrating.

I hear you man. I've read those too. So people on here...please discard the MYTH that people who have more sex have HPV because it's not true. That's not the same as saying people who have had more sex partners statistically are at more risk, because statistically speaking that's just making an obvious statement - you know like saying if you buy more lottery tickets you are more likely to win...but do you?

All I know is after running the full gamut of emotions, I'm still confused! I've been married 25 years and faithful the whole time. My wife has also been faithful; I'm absolutely sure of this. Neither of us have any warts and I'm baffeled as to where we contracted it.

To the married guy in a happy marriage: Maybe one of you just had it to begin with. A lot of people do not show symptoms so a perfectly healthy looking person may have the virus. Actually, I'd like to thank you for sharing your experience. It sure makes me feel better. I've heard that when you count the unreported and undiagnosed cases maybe 99% actually have HPV.

I mean I wish we all didn't have it of course, but your solid marriage kind of testifies to the fact that the virus can lie dormant for years. Also, we have all got to stop associating HPV with loose sex, etc.

Ditto to the comment directly above. People automatically assume that HPV = dirty loose sex. Hey well my sex life wasnt' the cleanest and I've had a few partners but for the amounts that other people I know sleep around I'm suprised they havent' caught everythign out there yet.
