im 51 and recently was called for smear.They now test for hpv too, because of the link to cervical cancer. im not so much worried about that but the fact that i have this. ive only had 2 long-term relationships and feel worried to death about telling my partner . nurse said i don’t need to do anything but make sure i come back for smear next year. apparently its very common. i get anxiety with menopsuse anyway but now its through the roof. anyone else had this experience?
