Look up the definition of communicable.

com·mu·ni·ca·ble definition
Pronunciation: /kə-ˈmy{uuml}-ni-kə-bəl/
Function: adj
: capable of being transmitted from person to person, animal to animal, animal to human, or human to animal

Okay. Now, please explain to me how HPV is NOT communicable, because it sure as heck appears to me that it fits the definition.

Furthermore, there is every reason to think that herd immunity dynamics affect HPV.

Can you get HPV just from standing across from someone?

Is there a way to ensure 100 percent protection from HPV without a vaccine?

“Furthermore, there is every reason to think that herd immunity dynamics affect HPV.”

Well sure. The problem is that herd immunity in HPV is substantially weaker, than it is for DPT or MMR. Which is why we should not vaccinate against it.
