It will be ok ... I know this is rude of me .. but I didn't tell the person I'm with now.. I loved him to much .. sounds bad.. but hes my heart right now .. I was told I had GW in Aug. and I havent had another one since.. My Doc told me I might never have another one !! lets cross our fingers and hope for the best !

I think it's a personal choice whether to tell someone. I mean, if you are having unprotected sex then yes, ethically it's the right way to go. But if you are using condoms, not having outbreaks, etc. then I think it's up to you.
Usually, if they are a good person, and they really care about you, they won't care you have HPV.
For me, my partner has it too. I would wait until you know it's serious to share that information.
I understand this is sort of new for you, and now you are worried. Honestly, I've had it for a long time and was never rejected on the basis of having HPV. Nowadays people with HIV and AIDS are finding partners. HPV is a drop in the bucket comparatively speaking.
Best wishes!

I have to say I know exactly how you feel.I have hpv since nov of 04 and its not gotten any easier..I have had all the stuff done as well and still no change..I just recently..like a week ago had to tell a potential partner of this and what is really bad we have know each other for a long time, we have been friends and wanted to see where this could go and i had to tell the tale..oh he was very supportive and thanked me for telling him,asked me to let him digest this and talk to his doc..we were suppose to get together last sat and he cancelled and if course I havnt heard from him and this was someone calling me and asking me out..so to your point..this does suck..not only is it hard enough to tell someone and try to keep some self respect..its hard not to feel like you have the plague and you are right how many people out there have it with no symptoms..Even tough I am angry now..I feel I did the right thing..The person that gave me this wonderful gift new he had it and didnt tell and give me the choice.. Unfortunatly the right thing to do is to be honest and up front and try to hold our heads up high..because we know we are not bad people and bad things happen to good people..

i know how you feel i have been with my boyfriend going on three years never had a abnormal pap had my daughter went for my 6 week check-up and it came back abnormal. i cried. i dont have the warts thow. but telling my boyfriend was hard it was a major shock. but i was told 90 percent of americans have it and no matter if you use a condom or not they can still get it. i wish the best for you though.

(((((((((((((blackcat))))))))))It's tough I know, but if the guy is worth it, he'll understand. Since I got it I have learned how common it is. There are a lot of ppl that don't even know they have it. Hang in there.

Blackcat take a very deep breath and relax! HPV is sooooooo common. 8 out of 10 women by the age of 50 will have at least one HPV infection. I was at my gyno yesterday and every woman I say come in and out there (all different) ages walked out with a requistion for the Women's Treatment centre for colpscopy because of HPV!!!!! So you and I and everyone on here is all part of a majority. The only difference is we now because of getting an abnormal PAP and/or because we requested a HPV pap test or because of warts. So don't panic of rejection. It is up to you tell the indvidual especially if you are not going to use protection and of course I would only recommend using a condom going forward because once you contract one STI you are more suspectible to others and all in all I don't trust no man after what I went thru. My ex lied to me and he was a doctor !!!!

Thank you everyone for your support. You guys are great and I am so glad I found this site. You are all helping me stay more positive through this. I know that it is true, it could be much worse and hpv is not the end of the world. Thanks guys, you are the greatest!!!!
