I am a single male and might have HPV, what now?

I am a single male and might have HPV, what now?

My ex-girlfriend and I (M/30) recently broke up, and she just told me she is diagnosed with HPV, the one that causes cervical cancer. That means that I most likely have it too.

I know it usually does not cause health problems in men. But what does that mean for my future sex life? If I date someone knew, do I have to tell her -- even though I don't know for sure that I have it? (I know there is no test for men.) What if she performs unprotected oral sex on me? Is that dangerous for her?

If I really have it, will my body eventually get rid of it? How long does it take?

Its a mystery!!! Thats a moral question that has to be answerd by yourself? You must have a concience, otherwise you wouldn't ask? but think of it like this....wouldn't you appreciate it if your next partner told you if she had it? And then again how do you know she doesn't already have it?and doesn't know? The more research I do the more I realize, if your going to have sex....there is always a risk? and what most people in society don't realize is that it is VERY RISKY!!! I don't care if you find a nun that wants to have a relationship? If your going to get naked there's a risk!!!  But its almost as though its apart of being human/or a part of life? personally, as sad as it may sound to some? you need to find one partner and stick with it....or go without!!!!! You may want to consider gettn back together with your ex?
