I recently had a leep procedure then i went to have a follow up and the pap came back normal. I am recently sleeping with someone who just found out his last partner has had HPV and the leep procedure didnt work. They used unprotected sex as well. If I do not use a condom with him will I have to get a procedure done again and does that mean the hpv is back?

a) Condoms do not offer full protection against HPV. It is possible to transmit HPV even if a condom is used appropriately.
b) You and the ex-girlfriend have different strains of HPV it is possible that you'll have future problems. If you and she have the same strains then it is possible you won't have future problems.
c) It is possible that HPV may cause problems in the future. It is also possible that you won't have problems in the future.
d) It is imperative that you always keep up with your paps and pelvic exams.

I hope that helps.

I also had another question, i had anal sex without a condom from someone who most likely gave me HPV. Does that mean i should have that checked or does that just go away? I have had no symptoms so i wasnt sure what happens in that situation?

That question would best be answered by your doctor. It is also important to always let your doctors (any and all) know that you have been exposed to HPV. It can not cause problems at all, or it can cause problems many years down the road.
