What protection?: Condoms do not protect fully against HPV infection. Other "protections" do not afford any protection. Any one of your partners could have transmitted the infection. Please be sure to follow your doctor's advice for follow up tests and treatments. See this site for more info. http://www.cdc.gov/STD/HPV/STDFact-HPV.htm

It happens: Studies have shown as many as 70% of college age women are positive. HPV can bypass condoms and pass unnoticed for decades. The wart producing strains would give rise to observed findings within a year or so. The other strains do not produce symptoms in men & will occasionally cause cervical changes in women over time.
