pap tests are better now at detecting hpv. you could have gotten this virus from any of your former partners years and years ago and it is only now that changes are being detected on your cervix during a pap. past normal paps are good but that does not mean you had a recent exposure. don't start pointing accusatory fingers at anyone just get properly treated. there is really no way to determine who did it or when you were infected by this virus.
