Vaccinated female tested positive for hpv. long time married. obgyn says its a new virus meaning someone cheated. neither of us did why would she say that? stress on marriage now?

Your doctor is mistaken or you misunderstood. The large majority of newly positive Pap smears or HPV in your situation are reactivation of past infection, not a new one. Of course HPV is sexually transmitted, so new infection is possible, and you should have a sensitive discussion with your husband. But if he denies other partners and you have no other reason to distrust him, you can believe him.
