A member asked:

I have genital herpes is it possible in a long run u can have hiv if ur immune system weaken ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HIV or HPV?: You can acquire HIV at any time if it is introduced into your body and your immune system doesn't completely destroy the virus. HPV (human papilloma (virus) is a different virus and causes venereal warts with or without the presence of herpes.
