Usually difficult: To know this, you would need to know when the infection originated and have a very detailed sexual history. HPV persists after infection whether you have any symptoms or not so knowing when you were infected is usually very difficult to impossible. Symptoms can also take months or years to show up so this further compounds the problem. If you've had very limited partners, this becomes easier.
