Brief Answer:
Regarding HPV
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
HPV is sexually transmitted. Having it doesn't mean that you cheated on someone. It is such a common yet silent infection that most people dont know if they have got it?when and who did they got it from?specially if they have had different sexual partners over a period of time. It is possible that you already had HPV if you had sexual partner(s)before you got married or your husband had it from before marrage and then gave it to you. If you got it from your husband, it is also likely that he acquired it from someone else outside marriage but before jumping on to that conclusion you need to let him know that you have HPV and discuss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Brief Answer:
Regarding HPV
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
If on testing HPV didn't show up at the time of pregnancy 3 years ago then most likely you got it from your husband sometime after that. Anyways, most patients with HPV are able to clear the infection within 2 years of infection. You need to follow up this with timely Pap smears.
Take care.
