Likely: You are not specific about what partner involves but if it includes genital contact consider yourself exposed. Strains associated with cervical cancer usually clear their primary infection in 2 yrs, but they can shed germ intermittently thereafter. Whether it would also result in any form of cancer in another person is an individual risk, not per-destined.

Sure. HPV is common.: Vaccinate. Vaccinate. Vaccinate. (Gardasil HPV vaccine has 3 doses). HPV comes in many strains and many people have them. Because all teens in the US are supposed to be vaccinated, this generation should have much less genital or anal HPV and fewer such cancers. The vaccine helps prevent 9 strains so it will still help people who already caught a strain or two of HPV, by preventing other strains.
