There is no harm in getting vaccinated while sexually active. No need to abstain. It may even be helpful in clearing an active infection.

It is likely that someone previously infected with HPV will still get some residual benefit from vaccination, even if he or she has already been infected with one or more of the HPV types included in the vaccines.

But the vaccine also offers some protection for HPV-positive women, reducing cervical lesions by 17% and genital warts by 35%.
