If HPV is infectious...then how does one monogamous 'couple' keep from continually re-infecting each other? 23 yrs ago, when diagosed with pre-cancerous cells in cervix, doctor never mentioned the condition as part of an hvp 'infection'. I (ignorantly?) assumed that it was nothing to worry about. Husband is the only partner I have ever had. If the virus originated from him, then does this mean we have passed it back and forth for 25 years? In other words....Women are treated (cancers removed) for this condition, only to be reinfected the next time they have sex with their partner?
