Should I tell him he infected me?

I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago because I had this really bad itch and my vagina was burning and extremely sore after sex. When I got in, I told the doctor that I thought I had a yeast infection because I noticed the white discharge and remembered the itching. She prescribed me the drug Diflucan and asked if there was anything else she could do for me. I told her that I had also noticed a brown discharge that had been occurring for quite sometime. I hadn’t said anything about it because I was embarrassed. She immediately decided to do a quick check up. While she was down there looking, she noticed a lot of vaginal irritation. It surprised even her. I have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend for about 6 months-information I neglected to inform her of. She was so interested in the irritation that she decided to just go ahead and do a pap smear. She did diagnosed me with a yeast infection and vaginosis. She gave me two prescriptions for that and said that my pap smear results would be back shortly. A week later, my mother received a call from the doctor requesting that I come to th office as soon as possible. When we got there, the doctor told me that I didn’t have gonorrhea but I did have chlamydia. I also have HPV. She gave me a 7 day regimen of Doxyclyline for the chlamydia and she told me she couldn’t do anything for the HPV. She said to come back in 3 months for a follow-up pap and if the HPV was still there, she would have to send me to a specialist. I got the medicine from the pharmacy and the whole time I was thinking of which one of us gave the disease to the other. I believe I contracted the Chlamydia from him but I have probably had HPV for a while. I meant to confront him about the matter but when I got to his house, we just ended up having sex. I took the medicine like the bottle said (twice a day) but by me have sex with him (unprotected) during that time, he reinfected me. Should I tell him that he has HPV and Chlamydia?

Answer #1

Yes you should. And please don’t skip your paps. I would go more than once a year. Take that from a survivor with 2 children I was not supposed to be able to have. You got a double dose. Tell him it’s hard it’s scary not to mention embarassing but if he gave it to YOU. Don’t let him give it to someone else.

Answer #2

yes, you need to tell him, as it has obviously come from him and he needs to know that… but why did u have sex again, unprotected, when it may make the matter worse? anyway you need to tell him, as he could have contracted an infection off you. hope you’re better soon.

Answer #3

Well, I think that you should. But i am human, and I do understand how difficult that is. considering that I know someone who is in the exact same situation as you I know how hard it is. But that is up to you whether or not you want to tell him. I am sorry for what has happened to you.

Answer #4

yes you should I am going through the same thing right now and I was not sure how to tell my boyfriend about it but you have to. This does not only involve your health but his to. The longer you wait the worse matters could get.
