http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/stds/std_warts.htmlHPV is a known SEXUALLY transmitted disease, so “no” you can not develop the virus unless you are sexually active. HPV can remain dormant in the body, and almost always shows no symptoms. This contributes to the 80% chance of catching the virus. If you have been diagnosed with HPV and are dating, you need to practice safe sex irregardless of visual symptoms. Any STD raises the risk factor for acquiring HIV.
