Questions/support on recent positive low risk HPV test

I have been going through a immune suppressing auto immune disorder and recently felt a little rough lump down there, and suffering a massive yeast infection I Visited my NP. I was convinced it was HPV for some reason. She examined me and did a pap. She saw no evidence of genital warts. I persisted she do a test anyway. My pap is normal but I did have a positive HPV test for low risk HPV (genital warts). They are guessing from my lower immune system. Howeever I am left in a downward depression spiral. I am in a long term monogamus relationship and we have little sexual contact as my yeast infection prevented it. I am not sure if it's safe to resume unprotected sex, or oral sex. My husband does not have any symptoms, and apparently I don't either. they told me eventually my body will clear he virus, but what if it's just starting and my warts are not visible? Am I contagious? How long will I be considered contagious? Especially if I am asymptomatic ? All information from online or by my doctor have been contradictive. I'm confused and so scared. I've learned from risky behaviors but How do I get my life back? I've been eating healthy and taking control of my health in hopes to fight this. Please help.
