do i recently found out i have hpv, and i decieded to tell this guy im (was, i dont know) dating because i thought it was important, and now it seems like he’s just a little bit more concious about being with me, like he doesn’t wanna touch me at all. and i have tried to talk to him about it and share with him what i know but i think he just won’t listen plus i think he wants to start a family of his own soon. but i was just wondering if i should’ve told him and that if in the future should i tell my partner and really how can i live with this? does anyone know about hpv at all?
If memory serves HPV causes little side affects in guys with the exception of warts, but it’s far more dangerous to women as it’s a major cause of cervical cancer.
I just took a quick peruse on Wikipedia (yes i know it’s horrible for actual facts) but i found that about 25% of women will have a strain of HPV in their life.
So to answer your original question yeah I’d be more careful (a condom is definitely in order) but I’d still date a girl with HPV. (heck i probably have)
Lastly it sounds like you don’t know all the facts of HPV might i suggest a google search? The CDC is mostly likely a good place to check out
Would you ever date a guy who wasn’t circumcised?

Yes Rory, I did realize that, but with all respect, that hasn’t answered the question has it?
Studies show there are higher rates of cervical cancer with women who have uncirc’d partners.
You do realize that the vast majority of men aren’t circumcised?
Only about 30% of men are, and 70% of them are Muslim (I haven’t anything against Muslim I just thought I’d add some details)
Edit: Luckily I won’t be getting cervical cancer from going out with a guy, lacking a vagina etc.
Are you that worried about getting cervical cancer? Never go to Europe is my advise to you.
Just a tid-bit for the answer below me 80% of Europeans are uncircumcised, meaning the majority of "westerners and Americans" are actually uncircumcised, considering there are 500 million people in the EU, more than the US.
I’ve been doing some reading on this, apparently the reason circumcised mens female partners are less likely to have cervical cancer (about 20% less likely) is because those men are less likely to have HPV
So I would only worry if I was sleeping with a guy who was likely to have STI’S, in monogamous relationships this shouldn’t be a problem.
In conclusion, blame man-whores.
