Can hpv be spread other ways other than vaginal or anal sex ? and do warts have to be present for the virus to be passed on or no ?

Yes to 1, no to 2: Hpv can be spread by oral sex and by viru present on fingers or hands. Virus can be passed on in the absence of warts being present. Vaccine is very effective in preventing hpv.
