How can someone cope with the reality of having had previous sexual partners (therefore having likely acquired hpv) and then embarking on a lifelong relationship with someone who has been abstinent for their whole life?

: You realize that if HPV strains were acquired more than two years ago the chances of you transmitting it to the celibate partner approach zero. All people have a history and for most some issues in their younger years were less than perfect. If you obsess over the past you will not have a joyful future. Find a life coach &amp; talk it out.
