Now have Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and just found out I have HPV

Doctors:

I really don't want to make this post long but I do have a history of Cancer. I was diagnosed in 2004 with a different type and treated.  Surgery and Chemo and Radiation.  
I was in remission about 4 years and then the Pet scan came back positive for NHL.  I've been receiving ongoing treatment.  Last Chemo was about 2 years ago.
I see all doctors on a regular bases and have bee doing very well.  Now I have a problem and not sure what to do.
I've been alone since 2000 and all pap's have always been normal. I just had a pap done and showed HPV.  
I met someone last year and he's very aware of my medical history.  He does have Diabetes but has regular blood work-ups every 3 months.
I told him about the abnormal pap and he did call his doctor and had blood work done... everything was fine.
Now my question?   I haven't been with anyone except him for 13 years,, how did this happen?
What dangers should I look out for due to the fact I have NHL and now HPV?

Could it be that the PAPs did not detected the HPV before? I read that Herpes viruses can cause cancer but not sure about the HPV. I also read that men can spread HPV and not get affected...Maybe one of the tests done is not accurate...I will have him tested again by another specialist.

so did you just have a + hpv dna test or was your pap also abnormal? I wasn't quite clear on that from your post.
