I work in clinical research and can say that the figures for HPV exposure are fairly accurate. Yes you most likely will be exposed sometime no matter what lifestyle you choose. Those figures were obtained through research that did NOT specifically target lifestyle. Vanilla, swinger, poly, gay, or any other factors. Some of the studies show STD rates among the swinger community are actually lower than those studies in which lifestyle is not taken into account.

No warts can't kill you and yes they can be ugly awful, but they are treatable/removable. Cervical cancer is a killer but with annual paps should be found early IF it arises. As stated not all HPV strains have been linked to cancer.

Other avenues that are being research are looking for genetic commonalities between people whose systems have made that link from HPV to cancer and why some people only get warts from the same strains.
