Yes, HPV(human papilloma virus) can be contracted if you are a virgin. Because genital contact without penetration is possible, virgins are likely to get HpV.
There is a slight chance; but it would be highly unlikely.

Yes. Because by the age of 50, 80% of American women will have contracted one strain of HPV. At least 15% are cancer causing stains of the virus. In college aged women, the chance that she will get HPV by the time she leaves college will be 85% if she has one different partner per year. HPV can not be cured using the vaccine. So be protected before you are exposed. This also goes for males.
