I don't know what to do!!

I am a 19 year old who just found out that I have hpv!! I am afraid to tell the people that I am close to about it because I am afraid that they will look at me differently! I just started dating this guy and I Know that I need to tell him about it before things get to the point to where he wants to be intimate with me but I just don't know how to do it! i am so scared that he will think less of me and that he won't want to see me anymore! So if anybody has any advice for me I would really appreciate your comments! Thanx

Calm down - almost everyone who is
sexually active gets HPV at some
point. Make sure you do all the
research and get a good outlook on it
before you tell your man.
www.hpvsupport.com is a good place -
read through the old posts.

It's scary at first but it makes it
worse if you don't have anyone to talk
to about it..your true friends will
not look at you differently b/c of it.
Try not to worry so much about it and
realize how many people that have this
and that you are so far from being
alone!

I also got invovled with someone new
during the midst of treatment. It
sucked, I just told him no sex and he
understood. All these months later
after having had cleared, things are
going well and it was easier to tell
him outside of the trauma of having to
go to the doc every week. Cool guys
are cool with the news.

theres nothing wrong with a
relationship that has a hold on sex. it
helps you achieve intimacy in other
ways, and is kind of a nice thing
having someone wait until you are
better... it really shows your partner
cares for you, and besides, no one ever
got genital warts from kissing or
cuddling, which in my opinion, is a
wonderful way to interact with the one
you love and is just as meaningful and
intimate as sex;)

Hey...I am 19 years old and also just
found out I have genital warts. I have
recently started dating a guy, and I
thought this website was REALLY helpful
in having the GW conversation:
http://www.hpvforum.com/howto.asp#gw

By the way, he was totally cool about
it, and he can't wait until they clear
from my system within the next 1-2
years. hehe :-D Quit
worrying..you're sooo normal. It is
your wake up call. Be safe and have
fun!

I agree with the 2nd mess. My b/f and
some family members know. If they care
and love you then it will not matter.
