HPV is a virus. You can't develop it; it is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. Usually HPV is contracted by having sexual intercourse and/or sexual contact with an infected partner.

Having HPV (human papillomavirus) does increase the risk of developing cervical cancer, but not all HPV infections lead to cancer. Most HPV infections clear up on their own without causing any health issues. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types, particularly HPV 16 and 18, is associated with a higher risk of cervical cancer, but regular screenings and preventive measures, like the HPV vaccine, can significantly reduce this risk. Overall, the majority of individuals with HPV do not develop cervical cancer.
