reality is you can get it simply from touching. if you give a hand job to someone who has it, then turn around and touch yourself, you can get it.
last i heard it was nearly 90% of the female population (18-34yrs old who are sexually active) has it.

Right, it's pretty easy to get...but isn't it just smarter to protect oneself? Yeah, condoms aren't the most sensational form of protection, but when there's a pretty high correlation between cervical cancer and HPV, it's up to us women to protect ourselves.
My old doctor said that 60% of her patients of childbearing age had some form of HPV. I could see how it could be higher based on the population.
