It has not been firmly established to be a sexually transmitted infection. There is only very little chance that it is transmitted via blood products and perinatally. It can be transmitted through body fluids, mainly saliva, and most infections are subclinical and can go unnoticed. For info: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK556023/
