My doctor said it mainly gets passes through sexual contact. Is this true?
Can someone pick it up from a toilet, or a hug (clothed hug!) I just wonder how contagious it is. What are the chances of it being passed without a sexual activity going on?

It's never been proven that you can pick up hpv from a toilet seat... I think it's highly unlikely, I wouldn't worry about it. I'd also say there's no way possible that you could pass it on through a hug with your clothes on. It's skin to skin contact that passes it. If you could get it from a toilet seat or through clothed contact with someone everyone would be walking around covered in warts. I've had hpv for just over a year and am in close contact with my young son all the time son and he doesn't have it. I've also had unprotected sex with my husband this whole year and even he doesn't have it. I wouldn't worry too much about it - although I KNOW that's hard to do.

is it only passed when there is an actual wart? or can it be passed with no warts at all?

There does not have to be visible warts to pass it. One can have it and not know; and it can take years to show up. It is unlikely to be passed without some sort of sexual contact, be it intercourse or via fingering, but it is not imposible. Given that it can take years to show, it is difficult to prove with 100% certainty that someone has been unfaithful (unless you were virigns when you met).

So what would the chances be that I passed it to someone considering the following....
We've been together about 10 times total. 1 time the condom broke. 1 time we didnt use a condom. (im still mad at myself for) The other times a condom was used. I like this girl, and dont want her to have gotten it.
What do you think the chances are I passed it to her?

I don't know the odds of transmission. If she got it from you, it might show up in a month, a year, a decade....maybe never. They longer you wait to tell her, the greater her risk of getting it. Trying to pass of any HPV diagnosis she may have as being due to a toilet seat, when you know it is you who gave it to her, is pretty low.

I would never do that. I think you got the wrong impression on my questions. I asked about the passing from a toilet seat way before I ever even met this girl. Those questions dont go together at all in any way. I wouldnt do that.

Nope, not a toilet seat, can't live on the surface. Nope, not from clothing, only skin to skin contact. That means vaginal and penile contact and you don't have to be sexually active.
There are different forms of HPV and some types men do not develope and do not know they have. That is why they call men the carriers of these forms. This type of hpv does not cause warts on the outer genital area but causes abnormal cell growths on a woman's cervix.
Out of the 10 total times that you two have been together and 2 times you were unprotected that is a 20% chance or higher out of 100% that you may have passed it to her. You should tell her so she can be prepared. No wart has to be visible and like I said in the paragraph above, some strands men don't even know they have.
Please tell her that she is at risk because if you tell her later after she has developed a form of hpv then she will be a lot more mad and wonder why you did not tell her before!

Condoms really won't protect you. If you have a wart that isn't covered by the condom (ex: testicle, thigh, anus, etc.) and you don't know about it, you could've very easily passed it to her the first time. Just like if the situation was reversed and she had one on the thigh, anus, etc. - you'd still get it, condom or not.
