[|Human|] I am a 56 year old woman and just had my first abnormal pap smear showing I have HPV. I have had ONE partner my entire life, my husband of 30 years. My husband has had only ONE partner (me) in the 30 years we have been married. How could I have contracted this virus?
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor.HPV is human papillomavirus which is responsible for warts in different areas of the body. Plane warts causing HPV can be spread by using same towels, close contact and famines. Some HPV which are usually high risk and cause genital warts are spread through sexual route. These infections sometimes get resolved spontaneously without any symptoms. I suggest you get yourself screened for high risk HPV which is 16, 18 types. Otherwise, no need to worry. Thanks.
