A member asked:
I am 16,female.never had sexual contact before.would there be any way to know if i'm infected with hpv???

Unlikely...: It is very unlikely to have HPV if you have never had sex before. Even if you did in most cases at your age your body gets rid of it by the age of 21, reason why the American Academy of Gynecology does not recommend getting regularly tested for this until you reach that age regardless of sexual activity,
