What would you do if someone you went out on 3 dates with told you they had HPV and genital warts?

First of all I would appreciate their honesty! Secondly I would probably suggest they consider dating websites that promote themselves as being a tool for introducing people who have the same virus in common. As lburmaster stated you can remain platonic friends if you don't want to risk getting the virus yourself.

The last thing you want to do is shut down and run. It's reactions like that which keep people from being up front and honest about their health status.

Offer to be a friend as support when needed as they were brave enough to admit it , let them talk about their problems but I wouldn't want to risk getting anything myself.

I would be friend's with them, but I would not risk it. Or attempt to find something that blocks both of those. Since he seems upset about his condition, attempt to help him feel better about the situation.

However, it is enough to frighten many people away.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
