HPV types that cause warts are different than those that cause cancer. Second, having been vaccinated, you are protected both from the wart-causing HPV types and the main types that cause cancer. Third, you have been repeatedly exposed to your husband's HPV infection(s) and probably already infected (despite your normal paps). You can safely continue unprotected vaginal or oral sex without worry.
