Hello dear,
As you diagnosed with HPV, it is human papilloma virus.
HPV transmission occur through vaginal sex, anal sex and oral sex.
Infection with HPV is a high risk for developing following cancer:
cervical cancer
vulval and vaginal cancer
anal cancer
penile cancer
laryngeal cancer
tonsil cancer

so obviously as you are HPV positive, you have high risk for oral/ throat
and anal cancer through oral and anal route.
So please do extra careful during sex, you can use condom to prevent them.
Also do vaccination against HPV.

Hope this may help you.

Best regards
Dr. Sagar
