just diagnosed with HPV
by janejay22, Aug 05, 2009 07:30PM
I was just diagnosed with HPV today. They found three warts that will be removed next week.
What can i do to be sure that they wont return? and how do i tell my partner, i have only had two partners
and the doctor said she couldnt be sure which one had given me hpv- so i decided that i have to tell my boyfriend. I am afraid he will breakup with me and be in denial that he has it too. How can i tell him without upsetting him too badly. I am also afraid he isnt going to think i am appealing to him anymore. I know HPV clears up on its own but how can i speed up this process!!! And should i tell my first partner as well?
What shocks me is that neither partner had any signs of HPV i thought that you would only get warts if they were visiable.

I wouldn't worry about telling your boyfriend. The could have just as easily originated from him as you. If he cannot accept that, and doesn't appreciate you informing him of a potential health risk, he probably isn't worth much of your time.
I don't think you have any choice but to be completely honest.
He will have to assess the risks, weigh his own options, and move forward. But if he leaves you, remind him that he should warn his next partners about this possible exposure, to let them make an informed decision.
Low risk HPV generally clears in 1-2 years, so if he decides to leave, he should probably sit out of action for a little while. It's only fair to the rest of the population. It's like staying home when you're sick, to avoid getting other people at work sick as well.
