I just found out today...?

About an hour ago...that I have HPV. I am scared out of my mind, can't stop crying and I don't know how to help my boyfriend. He wants to know how it affects men and if he, for sure, has it. I am going in Thursday for my appointment and will know more then...but right now...I can't stop crying. I feel so bad and horrible because I don't know what to do or how to feel. I don't know how to make my boyfriend feel better.

Please...anyone...only serious answers please, I'm already freaking out as it is...please help me with any answers you can give me. Especially about the male and how I can make him feel better, somehow...I doubt I can.

I told him already...and he keeps asking questions I don't know answers to. I don't know what to do...I'm so scared and worried...

Wow! I am so happy to hear that you were honest with him. Getting him checked as well as you continuing to seek treatment is a great choice, good job.

Just remember each of you is entitled to feel whatever you feel. Keep being honest, allow him his own reaction (so long as it is a safe one to be around), keep seeking information. The CDC has some info on HPV at the site listed below.

I wish you the best of luck. Please be gentle with yourselves and each other as you go through this.
