Hetero male hpv questions: should i tell my previous sexual partners for their safety? or, would this just induce unnecessary anxiety? i've only had 3

Please Inform: I would advise you tell your previous partners about your HPV status. Certain types of HPV can cause multiple forms of cancer (Cervical Cancer) in women if they are not screened frequently for them. If they know about your status, then they could get an HPV test or Pap smears done to determine if they contracted HPV. For yourself I would advise condom use to protect yourself.
