Well, first of all, HPV generally only affects women negatively, if at all. Men generally do not even know they have it if they do because they have no physical symptoms. Also, something you need to know about HPV, is it can lie dormant for literally years before you see any symptoms of it. A change in your immune system may have caused you to have symptoms and get checked out.

If he cared, then he would be there for you and not be all upset and mean about it. You're doing the right thing by telling him because it's responsible. And besides, having HPV isn't some kind of marker. 2/3 of sexually active women have HPV or have had it at some point in their life. And you never know, he might have given it to you.

As her boyfriend, you should support her. This is a critical time for her and she really needs someone there for her that is going to help her get through with it. HPV can be treated. But while she is getting treatment, your support will mean a lot to her. Just imagine if it was you. What would you want out of your girlfriend if something similar happened to you? Be there for her. Show her you care.

Be as supportive and concerned for her as you would expect her to be of you. Alot of the information on HPV seems to be unclear, people in monogamous relationships get it, there have also been cases of nuns having it. While they think it can go away on its own, have your girlfriend check out a product on line called Beta-Mannin. Used exactly as prescribed has great results. I wish you both well.

well....did u give it to her?? with hpv it can take up to 3-6 months to even notice you've been infected usually when a wart occurs is when you find out. If you are 100 percent sure she gave them to you and not vice-versa well..i'd be a little upset but chances are she probably didn't know she had them and i'd be slapping myself real hard for not wearing protection to begin with

Be thankful that she told you, and respect that fact it may have been hard for her to tell you. Only you can choose how to proceed from here. Either you are OK with it or you aren't. You should try to decide sooner than later, because if you say you are OK with it now, but change your mind, it will only hurt you both even more. It can be treated but being careful is going to be necessary.

First I worried for her health that is the leading cause of vaginal cancer, then I thought about myself in that I can never really have sex with another woman with out transferring it. I didn't freak out or anything because it's very common, and i know that it really doesn't affect men.

I instinctively wonder whether she gave it to me and when she cheated on me.
It is an STD:

Men CAN get it:

On the other hand, I would be glad, in a way, that she told me. My health, well-being, and as a consequence, my future would have been at risk if she hadn't.
