I am a 26 year old female. I have had HPV now for 4 years. I have just seperated from my boyfriend.(whom gave this to me) How will I find the words to tell a future partner I have this sexually transmitted disease???
I have no visible signs of the warts and I have been treated with the aldara cream. Last few check ups I have had were clear of any warts.
Will there be someone out there that will understand this?? The thoughts of giving someone this scares the life out of me??
Thus hinders me from being comfortable enough to be able to be sexually active again.
Please if someone would care to respond >>I would appriciated it greatly

Sunny,
I am 20 and got HPV on my 18th Birthday. It terrified me so much I thought no one would ever love me again because of what I had, But I was totally wrong for some strange reason I had guys wanting me more for my mind then sex, yes it did come shortly after, but after they knew all about it did I let them past the door. I gave them all sorts of info, so they wouldn't freak out. Also that was the first thing I always told a guy. If they were like "ok well I'll call you" and never did I knew it wasnt' meant to be, But If they were like "It's okay lets still go out" then I knew they were much more mature and undserstanding than the others.
Hope that helps. But I am a very bold person,and thatt helps too.

Thanks for your point of view, I have found along the way.. I have followed the same routine. I am upfront and honest with the guy. I just wanted someone else's opinions on how they dealt with the same issue. Thanks Again.. I wish you well!!
