Anonymous asked: Okay, this is gonna sound stupid but I need someone's opinion! When I was with my baby daddy, he gave me a string of STDs (curable, but still, I was pregnant so..) One of which was HPV, and it was the wart strain, but I only had one breakout, and four years later I have been deemed STD free (my pap smears all come back normal, no sign of the virus). My question is, I've been in a relationship for a year, and haven't told my partner bout this. Have I done the wrong thing? I'm afraid he'd be mad(1
if I told him the truth now. The only reason it’s really bugging me is that he was ranting about an ex that didn’t tell him she had an active infection. That and whenever I go to the doctors and they go over my medical history it gets mentioned (he doesn’t go to the doctor with me usually). So what should I do? Is there a way I can tell him without him exploding into tiny angry pieces? Thanks!
Even if your pap smear came back negative there is a chance you still are able to transmit the HPV virus. Really I would say that just tell him that you thought you didn’t have it any more, and your doctor didn’t tell you that there is a slight chance you could pass it on despite your test coming back negative and now that you found out otherwise you wanted to let him know. It’s incredibly difficult to test for HPV because there are so many strains out there and they can go into remission. It’s probably a good idea to talk to your doctor about it and maybe have your boyfriend get tested just in case. I hope everything goes well!
