A member asked:

Nervous and new here. how long does it take to get hpv results back? first pap in5 years made me do a hpv test with pap. we are happily married11 years 2 kid. i am vaccinated how could it be positive? no sex if it is? i dont want it to affect marria?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Before the vaccine was in use as many as 70% of college age women tested HPV positive in serum studies. If you are positive it can be from 2 decades ago and earlier HPV vaccines did not provide coverage from all high risk strains. I would assume you share any strain with your spouse and there is no reason to stop sex if you do. Men are seldom if ever effected.
