Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It is true that once you are infected with high risk HPV, the infection stays. Your doctor has removed the abnormal portion of your cervix by biopsy but you need to go for a regular follow up to find out any further spread of the disease. Your husband also must be having the viral infection.
This is not likely to cause oral herpes infection or cancer. So, do not worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Since your cervix has been removed, the chances of further spread of the abnormal cells or the infection is not likely. Annual PAP smear will help in detecting any early changes that take place in the area.
Usually the spread of cancer cells takes 10-15 years.
The HPV infection that you have might be persistent or may be removed by your immune system on its own.
The chances of you or your husband having an oral cancer due to HPV infection are very less but are not absent. Regular screening of any oral non healing ulcer is recommended.
If the HPV infection is persistent for many years then it is likely to stay. Your husband can consider getting himself vaccinated against the infection.
Hope my answer is helpful.
