No it’s not.

You are not exposed to HPV unless you make a conscious decision to have sex with someone who is already infected. You are not going to contract HPV just from shaking hands or incidental contact, as you are with communicable diseases, or measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria, pertussis, influenza, etc.

Many people out there are unaware that they are infected and therefore carriers of the virus who can transmit it to someone else. Some who know or think they have such a disease will dismiss it as trivial "as long as it's non-fatal" i.e. as long as it isn't HIV/AIDS, it's nothing to worry about, be tested for, or disclose to another person.
