there are many strains, it is the most common STD and it is easily spread, condom or not, most guys never know unless they develop warts, most women don't unless abnormal pap or they develop warts, I know a high percentage of the population has HPV but I don't think it is 75% and if it is 75% I don't think all of that is STD warts or cancer. Not sure. I've acutally been doing research on HPV b/c a friend of mine has it, slept with my roommate, hasn't told him and I was wondering if I should tell him. She is constantly having one night stands and not telling them. I've asked her about it and she says if she has sex with them a second time she'll tell them, but she's actually only told one guy out of the many. She thinks a condom will prevent it and it won't, she also thinks that if she's not broken out she can't and she's okay. So I'm really worried about her and all the people she is passing it on too. I know she gets regular check ups from the doctor to make sure she isn't breaking out and that it isn't coming back but that's all she does. She doesn't even use a condom hardly ever.
I would do some research, check with a doctor to see what they say and talk to your sister about it. I'm going to talk to my friend about it. Good Luck!
