HPV is usually transmitted through sexual intimacy. It is possible that one partner may be harbouring the infection and may not have developed any visible lesions. In that case the doubt comes about the origin of the infection.

Through skin to skin contact. But HPV is usually transmitted through sexual contact. As HPV infection usually clears on its own you don’t have to worry
