Genital Warts: There are more than 100 types of hpv. About 30 or so types can cause genital infections. Some can cause genital warts; other types can cause cervical or other genital cancers. The other 70 or so hpv types can cause infections and warts elsewhere on the body, such as on the hands.

Contagious/cancer: Hsv (herpes virus) and hpv (condyloma warts) are both highly contagious. It is reported that ~95% of hsv infected people will shed the virus evening a lesion is not present. Valtrex (valacyclovir) can be taken to prevent, not cure outbreaks of hsv that can lead to neuritis. Gardisil can control anal, genital and oral warts that can lead to cancer. You should both be checked regularly and thoroughly by your doc.
