Your Pap found abnormal cells on your cervix. The abnormal cells were removed from the cervix. Our HPV test only screens for high risk HPV types.
You could have HPV on the vulva or in the vaginal canal but most HPV types do not show as visible warts. They are invisible causing no signs or symptoms.
Your partner already shares your HPV types. Men do not always show signs of high risk HPV types but they can. We can also carry multiple HPV types meaning you can have HPV types that can show as visible warts. Your husband may never show genital warts or any signs due to your shared HPV types. Most visible warts of the penis or vulva re low risk HPV types 6 or 11.
There is no DNA FDA approved test to screen the male for high risk HPV types. Most males are diagnosed via visible genital warts.
