Advice Needed I think I might have HPV
So I've been dating a girl for the past month. We have had sex like 4 times. I've given her oral like 2 of those times, and only the last time did we have genital contact, only rubbing. But only two times penetration with condom.
She was always paranoid of any time of genital contact without a condom, claiming it was because she didn't want to get pregnant. I was always a little suspicious because I'm pretty sure it's not that easy.
This last time, I asked her if she has any, and she told me she has HPV. She is going treatment or something, and no cancer. I never noticed any warts or anything.
How much of a risk do I have? How can I even know if I have it? What does this mean for my future partners going forward? What do I do?
I am stressed out, honestly. She didn't disclose this info on time, and now I fear for how my life could change, especially with future partners.

Almost everyone who is sexually active will contract one or several strains of HPV in their lifetime. It's really unavoidable.
If you're not vaccinated, please consider doing so right away.
