3 years ago my doc told me i had hpv i have had the vaccines before i got hpv how can this happen? should i tell my bf my last few papsmears were fine

Puzzeling issue: Unless you got the vaccine before you became sexually active, it is possible that you acquired a strain before you received the series. Some of the strains produce no visible markers and prior to the vaccine 70% of young women had evidence of the disease in their early 20's.You can pass it if you shed virus, if bf got the vaccine he should be protected.
