It will depend on your immune system and the type of virus your husband has. Good idea to get checked and have a pap smear

If you do not have visible warts, and having been vaccinated, probably you are immune to the HPV causing your husband's warts. Probably your Pap smear will be normal. Follow standard Pap smear guidelines, which usually means testing every 3 years up to age 50. This is recommended for all women, regardless of partners' possible HPV infections, including women who have been vaccinated against HPV.
