How to tell the love of my life?

I have HPV. The type with the warts. They don't itch or anything and honestly I don't know they are there unless I am getting ready to have sex. The warts aren't around the vagina area. They are about 2 inches away on my leg. Still close. Anyways I am currently going through a divorce and getting back with my son's biological dad. I didn't have this while we were together the first time for 6 years. Now after being apart for 7 years and getting back together I am worried about our future together after I tell him. We both admitted that we do have deep feelings for each other after all of these years and want a future together. How do I tell him about the HPV / WARTS. Please respond quickly as he has tried sleeping with me but I don't want to sleep with him until we have this talk. Thank you in advance.

This is a tough talk that you know you are going to have to have. You will probably feel emotional as it is a sensitive subject, but bare in mind people can be very open minded.

You say he is the love of your life, if that is true, something as meaningless as HPV will not get in the way of that. It seems you have been apart a long time, and I highly doubt he will jepardise you because of this.

You just have to be honest. Tell him how you got it (if you know), all the facts about HPV like it usualy clears in 2 years, it isn't at all seriouse, your undergoing treatment etc. Make sure you tell him that you didn't want to burden him with this, because you love him and don't want him to go through the stress you've went through. Tell him you are scared to loose him and you hope a small matter like this doesn't test your relationship. HPV shouldn't matter when it comes to love.

Make sure you do it face to face aswell so its personal.

I'm only 19 and I have HPV with genital warts as well. I found out about a month ago, at first I was devastated. But the more I read into it, it something that can be taken care of!! I was scared to death to tell my boyfriend of almost 2 years. So I sat down with him and I showed him the doctor's report, at first he was mad and thought I had cheated but it can take up to 2 years for syptoms (symptoms) to show up and my ex found out he is also HPV positive. He basically was just quiet and wanted to find out all the info we could on keeping me healthy with this and when he got tested last week, he was negative so now it seemes that we are closer because we can be together thru anything. Dont be scared, just talk to him =)

I actually have told him about the HPV. he is ok with it. He didn't act like it bothered him at all and we have since made love. I didn't know that I missed him that much. I know he is the love of my life. Thanks to both of you for your support.
