Usually abnormal bleeding is more of a symptom of advanced cancer, but abnormal bleeding can mean a lot of other things as well.
You should not assume you have HPV until told you do so. You do though, need to ask you dr to do typing for HPV off of your byopsy or pap smear, they can go back even a few weeks after your pap to check this. MOST WELL SEASONED DR's, when they see cervical dysplasia will test to see if HPV was most likely involved. The thing is, you do not need to have actual intercourse to get HPV, ie(could get from fingers etc), and HPV is a virus that can remain dormant for many years, so you could have gotten it prior to your husband if you had had any other partners, but your virus just became active thus causing bad cells. What causes the virus to become active? stress, smoking any blow to your immune system. etc.
Some people do have these issues such as yours however, and do not have HPV, but usually the bad cells that can cause cancer are from having HPV.
If you have it of course, talk to your dr about safe sex practices. But I will tell you that my husband and I never use safe sex practices and he has never had a prob. HPV usually is the virus that either causes genital warts and then the other strain can cause dysplasia of the cervix instead of warts.
I hope this helps. If you have HPV, 80% of the population has been exposed to hpv, many people never develop problems from this however, some people run into some issues. Which can come and go as the virus goes in and out of a dormant state.

I hope this has helped, you do need to ask your dr. I bet you have a high poss that this is hpv, however, you may be one of those people who just has the dysplasia without hpv as the cause.
