Your girlfriend finds out she has the HPV virus, how do you respond to this as a boyfriend?

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. Source(s): 1)Im a nurse

yuck...i wouldnt be mad unless you had sex.....id be very upset lol.
hopefully, he is supportive and knows that it is a virus and not an STD
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.
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.
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.
