Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that the hpv test is new. We have begun to offer the test to women over 35 only within the past few years and mostly so that we can increase the interval between paps. It is possible that the donor sperm may have carried the hpv virus, it is also possible that you have had the virus for more than 11 years. It is possible that your husband also has the virus for a very long time with no symptoms.
Colposcopy is the correct next test to do in your case--your doctor is right.
HOWEVER, the possibility that you have cervical cancer is extremely low given your history of normal paps.
Usually the hpv virus IS cleared within a few years, but sometimes it lingers and in the case of the high risk virus that has NOT been cleared, we need to do careful surveillance. Your colposcopy results will very likely be normal OR very mildly abnormal in the worst case scenario.
I hope I have answered most of your questions.
By the way, congratulations on your new baby and don't lose any sleep over this--you need all the sleep you can get with a new baby in the house!
