People with HPV, cervical abnormalities OR genital warts please answer?

Its said the HPV is now the most common std, im just curious to hear how early people found out they had HPV after being infected. Like how soon they displayed symptoms. Im a girl and i want to find out the usual incubation. I havent had in almost 9 months and my pap test was fine as well as they havent seen any warts. Please answer, real stories are more accurate to me than just reading website statistics. They make it sound like every ually active person has warts or cancer pretty much. but how can you call it the most ually transmitted disease when symptoms dont show in alot of the cases so you never know you have it sometimes.
