Afraid to Date

It has been almost six months since I found out I had hpv and my doctors visist is in a few weeks. I am hoping that everything will be okay and that I will be in the clear. Originally they told I had Ascus. Ever since then I haven't even dated. The last time I even went on a date with someone was more then half a year ago. However I have two questions. Before I found out I had this I slept with a friend of mine. We used condoms but I still never told him about it .Should I say anything to him? It only happened once. My other question is with high risk hpv how likely is it the people I do sleep with will get it from me and show signs of the virus? I am tempted not to tell them I have it at all. I feel like I really don't since I don't have any warts or leisons but have avoided all dating since I found out because I didn't want to share it with anyone. People say if someone loves you they will understand but I still but I don't see how someone would want to be with me having it love or not.

Up to now, no medicine can cure hpv
inflection. You can still inflect
someone even no warts existing.
Therefore, you should seriously
consider what you would done!

Guys don't show any symptoms of high
risk hpv and usually nothing happens to
them (lucky bastards) but I would say
if it really bothers you not telling
him then... tell him, but personally I
don't know if I would.

If he is your friend then he will
understand. If it means losing a
friend to clear your conscience then
he wasn't your friend in the first
place. It happened before you knew
about it. He may want to know so that
he isn't surprised when some girl
comes to him and says "you gave me
hpv". In the long run he may realize
you did a good thing by telling him
and he can get tested to find out if
he even contracted it.

A real friend will understand and
eventually forgive you for any
mistake. It is because of so
much "hush hush" that so many people
have contracted hpv. Real friends
don't keep important things from each
other.
