I am 63 years old. Had a partial hysterectomy at age 45 -- uterus removed but kept eggs. I have just been informed that I had an abnormal PAP Smear, which revealed I have HPV. Is there any other way to get HPV or genital warts on the cervix outside of sexual transmission. I have been in 3 relationships over the past 35-45 years but always had only 1 partner at a time, even though I cannot with certainty vouch for the fidelity of either of them. I have never in all of my years had a sexually transmitted disease. So, outside of being embarrassed, since I am currently in a relationship I am trying to discern is there any other explanation as to how I could have contracted this virus.
