Is HPV something to be embarrassed about ?

Is HPV something I should be embarrassed about ? Because I feel it.

I’ve been with my boyfriend for 3 years. And that’s when I last had a Pap smear, 3 years ago. It came back normal.

I just had one last week and it came back abnormal and she said I have HPV cells.

I’m nervous to talk to my bf about it. Because I think he’s probably the one that gave it to me. But I know he’s deny it.

I feel very alone and wish I could talk to someone about it. I always talk to my mom about anything health related, but I don’t think I can talk to her about this since it’s sexually transmitted disease. Even tho I’m in my 20s, she will probably be uncomfortable about the topic.

Any advice?
