Faithful couples can get HPV through previous exposures before the current relationship or from non-sexual transmission, though the latter is rare. HPV can remain dormant for years without symptoms, meaning one partner could unknowingly carry the virus and transmit it later. Regular screenings and vaccinations are essential for prevention and detection.
