This is actually a very uninformed judgmental position to take. Not everyone who has HPV is even aware of it to inform their partner and many who do have HPV choose not to inform their partners. Given the propensity and high likelihood of you contracting HPV (80% of sexually active adults will have an HPV infection by the time they are 50) you may already have HPV and have yet to be diagnosed. This is unfortunately part of the judgmental attitudes that those of us with HPV must endure. It would be interesting to know this individuals perspective if they were diagnosed with HPV at any time in the future.
