Important facts about HPV: 1  HPV infection spreads from one person to another through sexual contact involving the anus, mouth, or vagina. The virus can be spread, even if you do not see the warts.  You may not see warts for 6 weeks to 6 months after becoming infected. You may not notice them for years.
