HPV is a sexually transmitted disease. It is also potentially transmittable via oral sex. Warts are a form of HPV. We get them on our hands and feet by simple contact. They are not necessarily the same strain as the OC or Anal, cervical cancer strain is, but it is a form of it.

There area lot of unknowns. Unless you are completely celibate, and a virgin, with history of NO sexual play ( we all know that you don't have to actually have SEX to get a STD ) they you have faced potential exposure, so it isn't confined to a certain type of behavior.

If your partner is the only person you've ever been with, or you've only had standard missionary sex once in your life, you still have been open to exposure - even with protection (I say this because an open sore can exist even outside the area a condom covers.

hope this helps somewhat - though I suspect I may have just muddied the waters.

hugs.
