| Re: How many of you?
This is a tricky situation.
I very recently found out about my HPV (a couple of weeks) and am waiting on the results of a biopsy to determine the strain(s) of HPV preset and the severity of my dysplasia. My husband and I both had sexual relationships prior to our relationship and it is impossible for us to know who passed it to whom and where it originated. For all we know, we both had it. It only takes one partner. Anyway, I am very close friends with the person that I was with just prior to my husband and I did call him to let him know. He is in a relationship and they very recently started having sex and he is devastated that he could possibly be passing this even though he is using protection. I wish I had known even a month ago - I could have given him the chance to discuss this with her prior to their relationship evolving to sex.
I digress... it is hard to say what the right approach is but I'm glad that you're already planning the conversation. I think that if I was on the receiving end of that conversation, if I cared about the person enough, I would be understanding. I would certainly want more information about what it is, how common it is, what it means to my health, etc. but bottom line - if it is right, it is right.
I don't know if this helps at all but I hope that this goes well for you!
