Not one germ: HPV is a large family of viral strains. At least 7 are known to be associated with cervical cancer and 2 or more with genital warts. The vaccine can help prevent the additional strains and additional risk. It is unlikely you are already infected with all. Males generally have no symptoms and may never know if or when the become infected but can pass them off & on for decades.
