high-risk hpv transmission risk

New partner had abnormal cervical cells removed seven years ago.  She is checked regularly.  If she has had no abnormal cells... is her high-risk HPV virus suppressed ...like after a year of no genital warts... and therefore much less if at all able to pass to me?  Also is high-risk HPV more protect-able with a condom because infection site is at cervix rather then external genitals like warts might be...?

If her paps are coming up with negative HPV then the virus is laying dormant in your system and Drs say it cannot be passed on at this time. Condoms are never 100% but still very effective, especially at times when the HPV is dormant. She should not experience HPV again after so many years of it laying dormant but in rare cases it can come back years later. As long as she keeps up with her PAPs she should be fine
