Humans get infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) primarily through direct skin-to-skin contact during sexual activities, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. The virus can be transmitted even when an infected person has no visible symptoms or warts. HPV is highly contagious, and it can also spread through non-sexual means, such as sharing contaminated surfaces, though this is less common. Vaccination and safe sexual practices can help reduce the risk of infection.
