what causes hpv in females - #25820

Vedant

I am really worried about something I just found out. I went for my routine check-up, and my doctor said I tested positive for HPV. I’m in total shock! What causes HPV in females? I mean, I thought I was being careful, so now I’m questioning like everything. Did I miss something important about protection? I’ve had a couple of partners before, but I always used protection. I don’t have any symptoms or anything, but it's just panic-provoking ya know? Like, does HPV come from just skin-to-skin contact or does it have to be sexual? My friends say it’s super common, which is somewhat reassuring, but still, how does it actually spread? I read somewhere that certain strains can lead to serious problems, and now I’m really anxious about what causes HPV in females specifically. Could it be more related to how my body reacts or is it purely lifestyle choices? I’m just feeling kinda helpless here and wish I knew more so I can talk to my doctor better next time. Like, is there anything they can do to help me feel more secure about this?
