Any time you have unprotected sex you can be exposed to the HPV virus. Once you have it, you have it. The body's immune system can keep it in "check" so that you do not have untoward symtoms but that does not mean you have suddenly been cured or no longer have the virus.
Having the lrHPV does not mean that you could not also have the hrHPV and that this has not been detected yet. You can have both the high risk and low risk HPV simultaneously.

I'm wondering just where you got this information.

Once you have HPV your body has the virus. It might become dormant, or it might reactivate, but you cannot keep passing the same strain of HPV "back and forth." You swap new strains of HPV with each new partner (and not just sexual intercourse, but sexual contact).

Whether you have protected or unprotected sex you still have a chance to pass on the virus. Condom's are not 100% foolproof. I'm assuming since you were told low risk that you are referring to genital warts. If so like Pickle Eyes ('hi' Pickle Eyes!) said you both have the same strain and unless either of you are unfaithful, then that may change the dynamics. You will not do further damage by having unprotected sex with the 'same' partner you are referring to, I know I've asked my GYN and Oncologist.
