Good morning i have just found this group I have just had a positive hpv smear im 48 years old been married for 25 years and  2 children together my head is spinning.

I havr never been unfaithful to my partner and and had 3 sexual long terms partners before my husband 

And my husband has had previous partners 

Im very worried stressed and ashamed when I looked up this virus I have never heard of it before 

And the imformation out there is so conflicting 

Im suffering with anxiety as to sit my husband down to discuss this i know its very common like a cold and I could have had this same one a few times become and now its  active and  i have never know so could my husband as men donr get tested 

And u only truly know threw smear tests 

He very old fashioned and feel like he will think ive cheated when I haven't we have just got our life's perfect and I feel he won't understand it I don't I cabt eat I cant sleep im so frightened 

Please if anyone has been in my shoes please reach out 

I have had a stressful year and going threw the menopause and immunity problems a

I look forward to some advice feel like im loosing my mind
