Hi , I have recently gone for my regular Pap smear, it has come back as a low grad abnormality testing positive for The HPV virus ..
My question is, I have been sexually active with the same partner for 3 and a half years, my last 2 Pap smears ( 1st had to get re done as they didnt get enough cells ) have come back clear of Hpv and these where a year into that relationship, could I have had hpv for longer than this from a previous partner and it not have shown up in my other tests ? Or have I recently contracted it .
