Should I tell ex about HPV?

[Nickname12345668]

Hi all,
Bit of a dilemma here. I was diagnosed with HPV (the wart causing strain) after breaking up with my ex. I had symptoms during our relationship and didn't realize what they were. Due to the timeline etc my doctor says it is most likely him that gave them to me.

Now here's my question... He's not going to take kindly to me contacting him. I also have my suspicions that he knew he had them and chose not to disclose... But obviously cannot know for sure.

If it were you would you contact him and let him know?

Thanks everyone!!

Hi sorry for your experience may I jsut ask what symtpoms? As since an assult last year I’ve had itching burning and discharge but no doctor can help me and say I don’t have anything besides being confirmed now that I have high risk hpv. I feel the ithcing and that must be warts but no doctor can help me. What symtpoms did you experience and I assume it was a while before you got visible warts? Also sucks if you think he knew and gave it to you. I think the guy who assulted me knew he had hpv but the police didn’t even care and said to get over it and hpv no big deal

I would suggest using https://dontspreadit.com/ It allows you to anonymously tell a person they may have an std

Yes I would. It's the right thing to do.  Even if he has no symptoms. If he claims not to be the one who infected you or that he can sue you, then remind him that men are usually the carriers. Then remind him that 80% of all sexually active adults have it. That should shut him up. Good luck!
