I’ve had HPV for two years. Worts on my crotch. Never got it officially diagnosed, but it was pretty clear. I’ve been in denial about it. I recently started dating a woman and before we had s** I didn’t disclose. I used the terrible justification that no other partners have mentioned it and most adults have it. Terrible. We had s** and after the second time, she started to question me about it. I said I didn’t know what the worts were. She let it pass. Then, I felt guilty so I disclosed to her via text. She was understanding and said she’d taken the vaccine. The next week, she broke things off because she felt disrespected by how I’d handled things. She was right, of course. I lied and said I’d only noticed the worst for 6 months, which made her nervous that I was still contagious. I feel awful and ashamed to have lied. I will do better.
