Im 18 and have had 3 sexual partners. 2 of which were results of too much drink and some seriously bad judgement. The other one however is with my current boyfriend, i say 'boyfriend' but to be honest he's alot more than that. He's the only person in my life who is there for me and he cares for me alot even though the relationship is fairly new.
I recently have had a missed call from a 'health advisor' saying that she needs to get in touch regarding my health..That was 2 weeks ago, since then i have tried desperately to get in touch, only to get to voicemail. After that call i started to get stressed and more than a little worried. I got in touch with one of my previous sexual partners and he told me he had cylamidia. At the time it was devastating to me purely through the fact that i would have to tell my boyfriend about this.
This led to me checking myself out and ive found these lumps that look smooth right at the back of my tounge aswell as things that look like skin tags aswell, i have quite a few of these and i now believe myself to have HPV. Although i have nothing around my genitals.
I've read that HPV is incureable and that i'd have it for the rest of my life, this has changed me from my normally happy self into something extreamely different. I can't eat, can't sleep and im overcome by this huge sense of guilt for inflicting this onto someone i care so much for.
i have a spark of hope however at reading some of the experts answers to questions, there saying that most people have HPV, that it isnt life altering.. and that it goes away and you wouldnt put people at risk...
i guess what im asking is what to do, im lost and need help. If i do have HPV (im almost positive i do) is it permanent? With the warts being on my tongue does that mean they'll spread to my genitals? I havent said any of this to anyone and im really heartbroken about how to go about speaking to my boyfriend about it.
any responses at all will be amazing
thank you!
