Is HPV A Risk Even With One Partner?
I just had a papsmear done and the results is normal but they said I m positive for HPV.ive been married for 18 yrs and did not have any intercourse with anyone else. But I was sexually active before I got married. Is it possible that I got my HPV 18 yrs ago? My previous papsmear were negative for HPV. My doctor said I might have gotten it from my husband. But my husband told me that it s impossible bec he never had intercourse with anybody before we got married and while we were married. Did I possible go this from my ex 18 yrs ago and it only showed up now?

Hello,
If you had HPV test before and it was negative then you got infected with HPV recently. Even though you may have not symptoms a HPV test can detect it if you have it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
