THE EX

I'm currently going through acid treatments of my newfound HPV...it sucks...and is really embarrassing...not as embarrassing as telling my ex. I never slept with him, but recently we've been talking constantly and all the old feelings are there. We've even gone over the sex talk he's slept with twice the amount of people I have...but HPV choosey...I've got it and I have to tell him. What I worry about is that he's going to visit me--and when he does he'll feel tricked. I feel this talk HAS to be face to face. We've both agreed we're past the fling stage and want to start something, but being so young 22, and being long distance, and finding out I have HPV. Is there an easier way that I'm missing out on???

What a dilemma! I can understand why
you would feel apprehensive about
telling him. But then on the other
hand, I fear to think of the worst case
scenario when you tell him face to
face, because he's travelled all the
way to see you. On the other hand,
there might be a fairy tale ending. I
don't know what you should do but I
feel for you.

I know how you feel. I got HPV from my
boyfriend of almost three years and
what really sucks is that he was the
first person I have ever been with.
It's hard to tell someone you care
about you almost feel as if you're
toxic to men, I know I do. The thing is
it's not your fault and if he really
loves you then he'll understand. I wish
you all the best.

Easy. Don't tell him unless it is
obvious you have it. HPV is not the
end of the world.

That's wrong Craig. You should
definately tell him. Inform him about
what HPV is, educate him, and give him
the chance to make the decision you
didn't get to. It works out for a lot
of people; don't assume the worst!

Craig is the guy that all women hate.
You suck and the karma will come back
to you, you'll get something worse. I
read another comment on an experience
that you wrote on, but brushed it off
because maybe you were having a bad
day, it said basically the same thing.
I guess it's just the person you are,
but it will come back to you, in fact
I hope it comes back to you.

Here's an article on gay health
website...offers a different
perspective. Remember every guy that
has it got it from a girl who didn't
tell either or didn't know.

I don't think I'm going to sleep with
anyone for a long time, there's a guy
on here that said it's ok to bring
lawsuits against people that give you
the virus and that honestly scares the
hell out of me more than these silly
warts considering you can sue someone
for doing something stupid as spilling
coffee on you in this country.

I don't think Craig is wrong. I think
he's just being realistic all things
considered. It's just too naive to
think you can go around telling people
about your HPV and expect things to be
OK. Sure there are some people with
hearts of gold out there, but most
people are pretty evil.

Its a morality issue,& if u remember
how u felt when u found out u had
HPV,then that is ur answer. U need to
tell him if ur planning on any sexual
relationship w/ him. Visible or not u
pass the virus.I see that someone
mentioned,a lawsuit/criminal
ramifications, well I talked to the
CDC, when i found out, there are no
cases in the court, HIV is the only
STD that has had cases to court. W/
HPV its harder to prove. If you have
questions call the CDC directly !

Girl Im going through the same thing.
Except I slipped up and slept with him
twice. Now I have to tell him and I am
scared out of my life. He probably
wouldn't want me anymore. I don't know
this is so crazy.

Craig is so not the guy all girls
hate. Have you read his stuff-he has
been great supporter on here-and we
are total strangers. I agree-it is
naive to assume that honesty is always
necessary. It depends on a LOT of
things-everyone on this forum is
different than the public in that we
know-most people don't even know they
have this
