According to the CDC, at least 50% of sexually active men and women will get a genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. After a person has been infected by HPV, it may take one to three months (or longer in some cases) for warts to appear. Some people who have been infected never get warts.
HPV, the most common of the sexually transmitted viruses, affects both women and men. The virus is spread through sexual contact. Vaginal intercourse is not the only way to transmit HPV, it is also transmitted via anal sex, oral sex and genital to genital touching. HPV is known to cause genital warts.
