Adnormal pap smear might be HPV how do i tell my boyfriend so he doesn freak out?
1 in 2 adults have some form of HPV infection. There is no FDA approved HPV test for men unless they have visible genital warts. Therefore, there is no way that the two of you will be able to determine who gave what to whom. HPV is generally more of a risk for women because it could develop into cervical Cancer. By the age of 50, 80% of women will have had some form of HPV. HPV is extremely common so you and your boyfriend should just focus on making sure to keep healthy immune systems so your bodies can build up the antibodies to fight off future infections. For you, be sure to see the gynocology every 3 to 6 months to make sure there is no sign of pre-Cancerous cells.
