Hi Anonymous,
Your partner can be tested also. It is likely he may already have it, as HPV is the most common STI there is. If you call your doctor or at your next appointment, tell them that you are concerned about throat and mouth cancer based on having HPV. They will tell you all you need to know, and if you have more question, don't be afraid to ask them or to come back here and post again.
In my own personal health, I have not had an abnormal pap smear since delivering my children. It's been more than 5 years since I've had to deal with my HPV. To the best of my knowledge, having HPV doesn't impose any greater risk in pregnancy than not having it.
Warmest regards,
-Christine
