HPV and exH...what are the chances...

Firstly I can't remember if I was tested for HPV in my last smear test 3 years ago in 2019.

I've had my latest one and I've tested positive for HPV. No abnormal cells thanks goodness, just back in a year for another test.

So myself and exH separated a year ago. In that time he slept with at least 1 other woman. Possibly more but he was adamant there was only 1.

I didn't know about this and we tried to make our marriage work again, started sleeping together - unaware he had slept with someone else.

I'm just trying to get it straight in my mind - is it likely I've caught HPV off him in the last year?

Not necessarily- HPV can lay dormant for years and is extremely common.

I tested positive on smear one year ago despite being clear on previous 4 years ago….

It cleared itself up on my last smear a couple of months back and I’m now back to 3 yearly smears
