HPV questions

Doing some research for my anatomy class, I got the topic of HPV. Can you get it from someone who doesn’t have it, like can it form on its own or do you have to have imitate genital contact with someone who has it. Sorry if this is a dumb question but it’s something I have to look for and google isn’t helping

Someone has to carry it. You can get it orally and on your genitals, but it can also get on other parts of the body.

Does it have to be genital contact or can it be from kissing?

Hpv is a virus so for it to be transmitted, you have to come into some sort of contact with it.

In theory, yes but it doesn’t really happen.

Kissing as in oral sex? Yes
