Can you get hpv if you and your partner have only ever been with each other?

Yes, it is possible to contract HPV even if you and your partner have only had sexual contact with each other. HPV can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact and may be present even in individuals who show no symptoms or visible signs of the virus. Additionally, it’s important to note that HPV can remain dormant for years before causing any issues, which means one partner could have had the virus prior to the relationship without knowing it. Regular screenings and vaccinations can help manage the risk.
