A member asked:
Help docs, is herpes the same as genital warts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, different: Herpes and genital warts are entirely different. Genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2 (HSV1, HSV2). Warts are caused by particular types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Google both HSV and HPV and you can learn a lot about both of them.
