Brief Answer:
Possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Yes. There are chances that your husband can get to know by testing if he wishes.

2) DNA testing if performed can determine the parent accurately and can decide if your husband is father or not.

3) The risk of knowing definitely exists.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
