What is the difference between HPV and genital herpes and can both cause cancer?

HPV (human papillomavirus) causes all kinds of warts -- on your hands, feet, knees, and genitals. Some subtypes of HPV cause genital warts; a few high risk types can cause cancer, including cancer of the cervix, anus, penis, vulva, head, and neck. The types of HPV that cause warts are not the types that cause cancer. Genital Herpes is caused by a herpetic virus, is not related to warts, and is not linked to cancer like HPV is. However, having genital herpes AND HPV increases your risk of cancer from the HPV virus.

What can happen to a person with HPV?

HPV is now one of the most prevalent viruses affecting female genital health. Untreated HPV can cause cervical and uterine cancer, make a female sterile, and create stress and emotional upheaval in a woman's life because of the stress and fear associated with cancer. Many women can receive adequate treatment before HPV causes severe damage. But the only way to know if HPV is present is through regular gynecological exams. If a woman is diagnosed, she shouldn't ignore it because the virus will progress and cause health problems. Parents of girls debate about the new vaccine to protect girls against HPV. But it is the only defense against this rampant and widespread disease.
