[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, considering there’s no way for men to know if they have most types of HPV, cancerous or not, unless warts show up.  I think women seriously have no obligation to disclose an HPV + test for non cancerous strains.

Which was exactly what OP’s HCP told her.

I hope everyone has learned something from this thread.  Healthcare is private for a reason.

Some strains cause warts in some people, some cause warts years later.  Some don’t cause warts at all.  And if all 150 strains could be tested for, it’s likely everyone has it. Except some of the virgins posting in this thread.[/quote]
So you think OP shouldn’t have disclosed?[/quote]

Correct, because disclosure changes nothing.   Her partner could have it, may not have it, it may or may not cause warts, he may have another strain that may or may not cause warts that she doesn’t have.  If he gets warts it could be a dormant strain that he got when he was in college, he may or may not pass it on.  They emphasize testing for cancerous strains because those need to be controlled.  BUT, here’s the thing, even if it was a cancerous strain, the dude wasn’t going to get warts and would have no way of knowing. So is he supposed to never have sex again?  People need to get vaxxed and that’s all you can reasonably do to protect yourself.  Without any valid testing for men, there’s nothing to do.  The reason the public health establishment has given non cancerous strains only minimal attention is because identifying and controlling them are of minimal societal value.

All of these hysterical reactions, including by the OP’s partner, are like wearing a mask outside in a field to keep yourself from getting COVID.  Except, of course, the health consequences and risks of COVID are infinitely greater than non-cancerous strains of HPV.

Do you have the same reaction to warts on the rest of the body?  What about fungal infections?  If you have athletes foot do you disclose that?

It’s all irrational.[/quote]
