Cervical Inflammation?

[RiptheJacker]

My girlfriend recently had a papsmear, and the biopsy came back as no displascia, however with cervical inflammation present.  She was also tested for other STDs (Gonnorea/Chlamydia/HIV etc), and has never had a herpes outbreak of any kind (HSV1 or 2).  A couple weeks before the test I "fingered" her and may have scratched her cervix.  I'm wondering if A) HPV could have caused this inflammation, and B) am I at risk for acquiring a disease.  I've used a condom every time with her, and have not had any sexual contact without a condom on.

Thank you for your help,
Rip

No neither of us has had herpes testing, however neither of us has ever had a cold sore or a HSV2 outbreak/any sort of blisters down there.  I was under the impression that there was a low chance of getting inflammation caused by herpes without an initial lesion outbreak, most often on the labia?  Neither of us has had the shots yet, however I'm going to try to get it.  Any ideas?

inflammation can be caused by many things.  

have either of you ever had herpes testing done? it's typically not a part of routine std testing.

she can get tested for hpv on her cervix. did she talk to her provider about it?

If you put the condom on when the clothes come off, it's a 90% reduction in hpv transmission.

have either of you had your gardasil shots?
