There are a couple girls I like and I told both of them and they were pretty accepting. But will I have to say, "I might have HPV" as long as forever? Unless a partner comes back clean after a few years? I wish my ex had told me so I could have made a more willing decision; again, to the OP: at least she was honest.

Several years ago I had sex with a girl who I afterwards found out had HPV, but I had been sane and used a condom. My girlfriend has had clean paps so I'm probably good. They have a vaccine for HPV now that women can get. Try "I was exposed to HPV X years ago, I haven't ever had symptoms, so I'm probably clean, but there is no test for men."
