Anyone who hears will develop an opinion. The real test is your resolve and confidence. How will you respond? Keep in mind that the same people whom we often feel subject to judgement from ALL have something they also would not like the world to know, like your friend.

Well I've already been tested once when my buddy found the history on my PC. I am pretty sure that I would handle it just the same with anyone else. It has been my experience that when things happen, good, bad, weird, when they are yours, you should own them. Skirting (all puns intended! LOL) the issue only makes it worse. Owning it and accepting what it is will help everyone move on. I just know that if I were to tell everyone that I know (worse case scenario), some of them probably would never speak to me again. That would be painful. I only hope that it doesn't' come to that. I don't think it will.
