I have genital herpes and have recent been diagnosed with hpv and was told i have a lesion on my cervix... i've been having swollen lymph nodes?

Either: Genital herpes can definitely cause ulceration on the cervix and swollen lymph nodes. It is less likely that the HPV is the cause of the enlarged lymph nodes since they would occur due to the HPV only if you had advanced cervical cancer and, if you have been having regular exams and paps, this is not likely. Hope this helps.

Screening: I suggest that you obtain full STD screening, Pap smear, and HIV testing. Always use condoms and abstain until you are treated.
