Is he fully aware of the seriousness? He maybe be hearing "pre-cancer" and thinking, "OK, so it's not cancer, no big deal."[/quote]
You might be onto something here.

tl;dr: Make sure he's fully informed, call him on his unsupportive behavior, and let him off the hook for the HPV.[/quote]
I feel like I am.  Conservative Catholic, as I said above.[/quote]

Sorry, quoted the wrong part.  I feel like soiled goods.[/quote]

I'm sorry -- I don't think there's anything you can read on a message board that can mitigate a longstanding belief.

FWIW, I have HPV (though a milder strain than you do -- I had a few abnormal pap smears and a colposcopy several years ago, but it seems to have resolved itself). My husband and I consulted an RE earlier this year, and when he asked about STDs I mentioned my HPV -- he shrugged and said, "Everyone has that."

Although people are understandably uncomfortable discussing STDs, I do think HPV is one that just about everyone has. Weirdly, even though is potentially has more serious implications, I think it has less of a stigma than many other STDs (herpes, for example).

Like I said, though, none of that is going to mean much to you if it was a point of pride that you saved yourself for marriage.
