It is exceptionally prevalent, but that's not the same as everyone who is sexually active has it. There are plenty of people who do not put themselves at risk prior to getting married and are then faithful to their spouses.
I despise that line of thinking. It completely ignores incidents of things like date rape. Jane Pristine gets assaulted by her high school boyfriend but doesn’t tell anyone because that’s how it commonly plays out. Joe Angel marries Jane and gets the HPV she got from her ex. Jane dies of cervical cancer. Joe, the widower, marries Jill Virginal and she gets HPV from him.
Not one of them did anything wrong, but all got it. Yes, not everyone who’s sexually active has HPV, but even people abiding by what I assume are the Biblical principles we’re discussing here (because abstinence is nearly only a religious thing and we’re talking about it on a heavily American website) can be affected, even without disobeying the laws they try to follow.
