A member asked:
Could herpes simplex act like hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hiv and herpes are not the same and their manifestations are not similar. They are often found together however and in general, herpetic infections tend to cause much more severe symptoms when a patient also has hiv.
