Re: HPV Vs Herpes

I have not done a lot of research on HPV but I believe it causes cancer, both women and men. Got to check if got any other problems.

Herpes got 2 types. HSV 1 & HSV 2. It is thought that HSV1 is the lesser of the 2 evils.

Anyway, HSV 1 lives predominantly in the oral mucus. So it is easy to acquire them with simple activities such as frenching or sharing cups, but the chances are not high unless the positive carrier has an outbreak at that time. The symptoms you can find easily in the net. It has a lower average number of outbreaks than HSV 2. From what I saw is about 2-3 a year. It can even be well contained for many years. It is unlikely you'll get HSV 1 from genitals. There are medicines to reduce chances of outbreak.

HSV 2 transmits like HIV. Generally, all symptoms are worse than HSV 1.

You can do a Igg test for HIV. I believe you'll get accurate results about 2-3weeks after your initial exposure.
