Yes. It's transmitted through skin-to-skin contact.

Yes; it is still possible to get HPV, even if you use a condom. It is slightly less likely, but still very possible. The only way to ensure you don't get infected is abstaining from sexual activity altogether. The next best way is to limit sexual contact to one uninfected partner who only has sex with you (mutual monogamy). If either of you has ever had another sexual partner, it is likely that you could already be infected with genital HPV and pass it to your partner. You can be infected and not even know it. In some people, they may carry the virus but never even show any symptoms.
