From my understanding, abnormal cells can occasionally come up without it being HPV. Personally, I'd go talk to the dr first to make sure it really is HPV. Also HPV spread is not stopped by a condom from what I know, so it wouldn't have mattered as far as his exposure. That's why they are pushing the vaccination for young women so much. Anyway, if it actually is confirmed as HPV, you need to tell him so he doesn't spread it to other partners, but with the way you describe him, I'd think you'd want to be sure before telling him. Its really your call though, as I don't know if the drs are saying you for sure have it or not. He may have even given it to you, as its mostly symptom free and only carries the cancer risk for women. But hopefully the abnormal cells are not HPV, as it sounds like they haven't confirmed it yet either way.
