Answer 1

i would rather be with someone who has herpes, because i have herpes, which you cannot die from. hpv if you are high risk, cercical cancer, and you can die form cancer, so i would rather be with herpes!

Answer 2

Okay, I'm not a doctor, and my understanding of this may be incorrect, so consult another doctor for more information. HPV (Human Papillomavirus Virus) is a common virus that infects the skin. HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) infects the nerve cells near the skin and the virus lives in the spinal cord. Some strains of HPV can cause genital warts, some strains cause cervical cancer. HSV causes "cold sores" and lesions, most commonly around the genitals and the mouth. HPV and HSV are extremely common and generally highly contagious. It's estimated that something like 70-80% of the population has one or both by the time they reach adolescence. However, I do not believe you can "get" HPV from HSV. He may have just been infected with the Herpes virus a long time ago and the first outbreak just recently surfaced. Whether or not having HSV can put you at a higher risk for contracting HPV, I do not know. You could no doubt ask your local health clinic or planned parenthood for more information on this. Bottom line, ask another health care professional, and ask them to explain the differences between HPV and HSV and the ways these viruses are transmitted. Good luck!

Answer 3

I've never dated someone who has both herpes and HPV, but I personally have both of those viruses and have had them for 6+ years.

I have never had a problem with dating anyone. All the men I have dated have been (surprisingly) REALLY accepting and supportive of me and what I have. I told them ALL what I have before I had sex with them and none of them ran away screaming or anything. I was with one ex for almost 4 years and I'm currently in a 1 and 1/2 year relationship with my fiance. I even dated someone who had genital herpes for a little while.

Most people (at least the men I have come across) are actually really nice and accepting about it. If a person can't stand the fact of dating someone who has herpes or HPV then fine - don't date them. There are PLENTY of other people out there! Take care and good luck!

Answer 5

Lucky me, I have HSV and HPV but my boyfriend doesn't have either and still loves me. Both viruses are not curable.

In most cases, Herpes is not deadly whereas HPV can cause cervical Cancer in women. However, HPV is more socially accepted than HSV2 because 50% of men and women have HPV and 80% of women will have HPV by the time they are 50 years old. On the other hand, only about 22% of men and women have HSV2 though about 90% get HSV1. HSV1 and HSV2 are very similar viruses, but many people write HSV1 as "just a cold sore."

Physically, I would rather get HSV2, HSV1, then HPV. I would rather have private outbreaks than outbreaks on my face. I would rather not have to deal with the possibility of getting Cancer.

Socially, I would rather get HSV1, HPV, then HSV2 because the level of social acceptance is easier the more prevalent the virus.

Realistically, we can't really choose because most people who have HSV or HPV have no symptoms and never get tested. Condoms are not 100% effective against skin-to-skin transmitted viruses. We all think we can be careful and not get these viruses, but the only way of being sure of that is by not having oral or any other kind of sex. And how many of us are actually going to be able to do that?

Answer 7

I would rather date the person with Herpes, because I already have it.
I know you didn't mean to offend anyone, but you having the virus should understand how it would come off to those who have it and are still going through the depression stage.
To the guy above your absolutely right people who tell their partner are responsible. People deserve to have a normal life. Just because some scum bag infected them w/o warning is no reason to give up and stop your plans.
I always dreamed of my wedding.
Ever since I was a little girl, we all do. When I found out I was only 17 ... Me and my fiancee had just broken up and I was heart broken. I confided in his cousin 30 years old and married. I thought we were friends and I could trust him to help me find out what I did wrong. Instead he invited me over and took advantage of me and gave me HERPES!
So to those girls up top...
If this happen to your sister, I think it would change your mind. Wouldn't she deserve a good man?
I have a good one... Oh, and he hasn't contracted the Herpes Virus from me either.

To the question asker...
Q: Why do you want to know this?
Q: What does it matter?
Q: How are you making people with HPV feel right now?

They are the same as us. Innocent... and they just want a good life.

Sorry if I upset you...

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.

Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.

Answer 10

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six years ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this video everything changed https://tr.im/HerpesCures2o15ntJq

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams. This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the whole World.

Answer 11

That just depends on how long I knew the person and how much I liked them...Herpes and HPV are both for life. That sounds like a life decision to me and that doesn't seem like a decision I would want to make overnight.
