1 in 4 of us have it. 
The highest infection rate I've heard of for HPV is about 1 in 10 sexually active, which is still probably high.

How common is HPV infection? It is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world, with probably more cases of genital HPV infection than of any other STD in the United States. About 50% to 75% of sexually active men and women contract genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. About 5.5 million Americans get a new HPV infection each year, making HPV the most commonly acquired STD. For more information, visit the CDC's Division of Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
