How do you tell someone?

I just found out a few weeks ago that I may possibly have HPV and its been tearing my world apart. Am off to school and I don't know how to tell my parents. Am pre-med and they are going to be so disappointed in me. Maybe they might even disown me as a child. I also dont have health insurance so I desperately need my parents to pay for what ever medical attention I need instead of paying for it out of my pocket. What should I do? Am afraid! How do I tell them and when is the right time? I've been feeling deep depression from the beginning of this entire ordeal. Some one plz help me....

when i found out i had HPV a year ago i was in college, broke, no insurance, and my parents paid for everything, just like you described.  the only bad thing about that is that you have to tell them unless you plan on paying for everything yourself.  when i found out, i told my mom but not my dad. my mom is a lot more understanding and lenient and my dad would be the kind to disown me. when i told my mom, i told her that i had some signs that something was wrong and needed to go to the dr and then told her that i would need to go back periodically for check ups to make sure it didnt develop into something more serious. i refrained from giving her details and when she asked i just acted like i didnt know. since then she hasnt really asked many questions. she knows that i have something but she doesnt know a whole lot of details.

i was really depressed at first too but so many ppl have HPV (80% of women) so almost every woman will come in contact with it at some point or another. just try to tell your parents in a calm manner and tell them that it isnt a big deal but that you might need them to help pay for some of the dr visits
