Should I tell guys about HPV?


I had hpv a few months ago and I got rid of them. I've been clear since. I want to start dating again but I dont want to tell any potenial guys that I have this and scare them away.

Any advice?

I had the wart strain

just because you have no warts does not mean you do not have hpv. You cannot be selfish and not tell your partner for fear of embarrasment because then you will be putting them in the same position that you are in. I have hpv, the same kind as you. I got it from an exboyfriend who was too ashamed to tell me about a condition he KNEW he had, even though he had no current symptoms. He thought it was safe too. I have no warts and I am doing everything possible to boost my immune system so that my body may kick, the virus...(this happens in most cases but not all). My advice to you is to be healthy, exercise, take vitamins, and BE HONEST. I had to tell my current boyfriend and it killed me and I was so ashamed but we are still together and he is willing to go through this with me, so as embarrassed as you may be, tell them, and who knows...a good man who loves you will stay, and let me tell you, you really learn what unconditional love is when you have a virus such as this one and someone wants to be with you anyways. Those are the kind of guys worth being with in the longrun.

Yes you MUST tell them. I mean, don't make it a first date conversation, but once the relationship is going in a physical or emotionally serious direction, you must tell your partner because the virus flares up at random times. The warts can return at any time and you can pass on the virus even when you are not going through a flare-up. It is not fair to your partner to keep it a secret because they might get it and you will be at fault. There is no cure for this and there is nothing you can do to change it now, so learn to work with it and I'm sure you will find someone who will care enough about you to work with your illness too.

Yes, HPV does not go away. The Virus is still in your system, it is still possible to spread the virus. HPV is one of the only STD's that can be transmitted even when you are using a condom. The reason for this is that HPV is spread through direct contact with the person, just like Herpes. I beleive it is crucial to let the person know only if you will have intercourse with him. Other wise, it should not matter. I hope that if you do choose to tell the person, make sure that the person will understand and not tell everyone else. Make sure the person is trustworthy and if you think they will not understand, refuse to have sex with them...
Hope this helped

To tell you the truth i know how you feel about that , and i wouldn't know how to handle that situation neither. So you are telling me that once you are infected with HPV you never get rid of it /?/???

Always use a condom, no matter what situation you are in. Do you have the abnormal cervical cells strain or the wart strain? Either way, if you are looking at a long term relationship, you're going to have to tell the person.

If a guy really loves and respects you he shouldn't expect sex from you!
