To add another perspective to this not every woman, who tests positive for HPV will develop cancer and that might translate to OC as well and for all of the reasons that Brian stated in his exceptional posts. It is certainly a very good question however, and being one of those that probably had an HPV induced OC, I do wonder about my wife's risk factor (although since I was simultaneously Dx'd with HCV, HPV is the least of my worries). My doctors can't give me any answers for any of these questions (and believe me, I've asked).
