No: Actually, hpv is transmitted from skin to skin and condoms do not prevent hpv transmission since scrotum still touches vulva during intercourse. It is okay to continue to have intercourse as abstaining does not make the situation better.

Low grade ????: I'm not sure what you call low grade HPV.Either it is a strain linked with cervical cancer ( high risk) or not. Hubby's strain is not mentioned. If your strain is high risk,it can go from minimal changes to pre-cancer to cancer over years or decades whether you are sexually active or not or use condoms or not.You are likely motivated to get your scheduled pap smears.Do so and ignore this worry
