A guy I have been dating and have fallen in love with told me he has HPV.?
Question:
I may be a bit uneducated in this area, but can someone help me with a few questions? If we decided to have kids, would if affect them? And is there either chance that I wouldnt catch it?? I'm so confused about all of this, any input would be great.
Answers:
I was right where you are when Mike and I started dating. I got educated and made the decision that the love and friendship I have with him was more important. We make sure I get regular Pap exams to check for cervical cancer, and so far no problems in that department. Condoms don't prevent it (THAT came from our doctor).We have a daughter and while pregnant was the only time I had an outbreak of warts. Didn't hurt and had no problem getting rid of them. Our daughter is healthy as well.
All I can tell you is it does seem scary. If this is truly a man you can see forever with then you need to sit down and really work this out with him! Obviously he trusts and respects you because he told you he had this which he could have easily not done! So based on that I'd say the friendship part of your relationship is plenty strong enough to discuss your fears and what you want!Let me tell you that when Mike told me I had a HUGE amount of respect for his honesty and caring of me!
All in all HPV isn't part of our everyday. Its part of our healthcare plan. It doesn't affect either of us in the everyday! We are Mom and Dad,lovers, friends, and husband and wife....thats our everyday!
If you think this is a man you could spend life with, don't let HPV scare you. If there is any doubt I would keep your relationship not sexual until you know. By the way, a majority of the population has this, so please don't judge his sexual past by this!
Speak to your doctor about HPV. Educate yourself! Make your decision not in fear, but educated and seeing the man past the HPV.If you can't live with it, thats YOUR choice! Obviously he wanted you to have the choice,since he was honest with you. If you can live with it, I hope you'll be wonderfully happy! Good Luck!
I would suggest both of you go to the doctor, sit down and discuss it.
