Answer
A
HPV is the most common STI.
B
Most sexually active men and women contract HPV in their lifetime.
C
There is no proven link between HPV and cancer.
D
HPV is most commonly spread through kissing.
E
There are vaccines available for some types of HPV.

Explanation

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, and most sexually active people get it at some point in their lives. Some HPV types can cause cancers, so statement C is false; HPV is mainly spread through intimate sexual skin-to-skin contact, not most commonly through kissing. Vaccines are available to protect against several HPV types.
