A member asked:
If one have herpes virus and get infected with hiv,will the persons hiv symptoms be different or appear faster or more severe than a person who doesn't have herpes virus ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not at all. Having herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2) increases the risk of catching HIV if sexually exposed. Type 1 (HSV1) has no effect. Either way, the symptoms or severity of HIV is no different in people with or without HSV of either type.
