It's possible, but..: Infection with hpv can occur after sexual contact with any infected individual. The prevalence is in widespread, since men & women can carry the virus for many years without any symptoms. If your husband is the only man you have ever had sexual relations with, then he could be the source. The risk of hpv infection is most directly related to the total number of partners, and new partners.

Only partner, ever ?: You can acquire HPV from a sexual partner and never have any symptoms for decades if ever. It could also first show up as a change in your pap smear, years or decades after the primary infection.As many as 70% of college age women had antibodies in some studies. Men may never have any symptoms but can pass it to their partner. If your husband was your only contact, ever, he was the source.
