Q: Finding a Partner With Hpv/genital Warts

I am a single 26 year old working woman in need of a partner to share life with. I was diagnosed with hpv a few years ago, and I am wondering how someone like me can find someone else with hpv. Normal conversation doesn't bring a subject like this up, and of course no one is just going to offer this kind of personal information. My gynecologist says that if I meet 3 people...At least one of those people has been exposed to hpv. I was also told by my gynecologist that I can still have a normal sex life, but I don't want to take the chance of laying the burden of this disease on someone else. I might have a problem telling someone about my hpv due to the fact that people gossip like crazy, and this is probably the most personal bit of information I have ever held. I want a partner who I don't have to take a chance of losing after explaining my situation. I certainly don't want to build a relationship on lies by not telling them at all, but I don't want to live the rest of my life searching for a partner who is in the same boat as I am. Are there any groups I can visit to meet more people like myself?

Hpv Not the End of the World

Hi ! I was diagnosed with hpv about a year ago, and telling my bf was the hardest thing I ever had to do. But just because you have hpv doesn't mean that you can only ever be with people that have it as well. I mean, thank heavens for condoms !! You're sexual health problems are nobody's business but yourself. As long as you're not harming anybody i.E. Like having unprotected sex, you can be with virtually anyone you want to be with. Maybe this is something that you should sit down and discuss with your gyno. You know for a little support. But one thing that I do know, is that although you carry the hpv virus, it is not always active. It does lay dormant, and one huge misconception, is that hpv is not just transmitted sexually, I mean you can get it from public washrooms. So date, have fun !! And date who you want to date. Don't settle for anything but the best !!! And don't feel bad, I felt the same way too. We're all human and we can't help the way we feel !!! But don't feel that you can only date people that have hpv. Hope this helps !!
