It’s not a communicable disease for one, Charles.

And, unlike tetanus, a small segment of the population is responsible for the vast majority of the infections. Herd immunity relies on certain assumptions, one of which that there exist no significant variances in disease vectors.

Um... HPV is certainly communicable. You can't get it by stepping on a rusty nail or eating tainted food; you get it from another person.
