Do I need to tell my partner? Please advise!

[Worriedgirl122]

Hi all.
I have been with my current partner for 14 months now. We are both in our mid 40s. I had a smear test recently which came back normal but it turned out that I have HPV. I genuinely didn’t know I had it when I first met him. I haven’t had many partners in the past and have always been careful.
We both had discussions about our past, and had std checks (which came back clear). I am very worried now about whether I should tell him or not. I don’t know how he will react or how it will affect our relationship.
Please, advise on what you think I should do. Thank you in advance.

You can’t compare losing a teeth to losing ones life.

@Tomolika ey? This is an old thread and no mention of the above?

I’m nee to this 😬

@Tomolika think you got the wrong thread haha

Human papilloma virus (HPV) doesnt cause herpes, it causes genital warts.
Hepes simplex virus (HSV)
causes herpes not genital warts.

It doesn't always cause warts... but zombie thread anyway
