Abnormal pap from HPV does this mean my husband cheated on me?

Question

I got a Pap test done a few weeks ago and it came back abnormal with low cells, she said this is mostly due to HPV infection. My husband is the only person I’ve ever had sex with and I have never had an abnormal pap before. We’ve been together for 6 years. Does this mean he cheated on me? How else would I have HPV? I even had the HPV vaccine as a teenager.

Answer

HPV can lay dormant for many years.
Has he slept with anyone other than you? If so, that’s probably where he got it and he gave it to you. I wouldn’t jump to cheating unless he told you he was a virgin before he met you.

Answer

Was he a virgin when you got together?

Answer

HPV is tricky, I feel like it's very common and a huge percentage of people will get it, but it can remain dormant for years. I wouldn't necessarily say your husband cheated , I'm not even sure HPV is spread that way tbh

Answer

It doesn’t mean he cheated. HPV can lay dormant for years. If he’s been with other people before you, then that would account for the infection. The vaccine doesn’t protect against all strains of HPV.

Answer

Hpv can lay dormant for years as another said. If he's been your only partner and or if he's had sex in the past before you, he could've contracted it and gave it to you without knowing and it's been dormant the entire time til now.

Answer

HPV is not something that is like an std , 60% of women get it and it’s because we are sexually active. Now can you contract it from someone with HPV already? Yes. But that doesn’t mean he had it, it could have just been you. Don’t worry, you will see signs if he cheated ever but I wouldn’t stress it. Wishing for the best and hopefully it will resolve itself cause HPV can go away if it is a mild case.

Answer

No it doesn't mean that. Also if you're sick or have any virus (like a cold) it can also come back abnormal.
