You need to do some basic reading about HPV. You are not alone: almost everyone has or catches genital HPV. Anyone you marry likely already has been infected. You cannot know whether you have HPV (either high or low risk), but if you have ever had sex, probably you have had HPV. The large majority of infections cause no harm, and that can be prevented by immunization. Get the HPV vaccine!

Your best bet is to see an MD and get tested instead of self-diagnosing. There is no world-wide study of the prevalence. Your worry is hypothetical and unwarranted. Enjoy life instead of worrying about what can happen.
