What other stds can herpes cause?

None: Herpes is a std, and by itself should not cause other std's. However, it is common for people to be infected by more than one std, so it is important to be tested for more than just herpes.

Genital or labial : Hsv1 in general is the cause of herpes around the mouth area and sometimes in the oral mucosa. Hsv2 jn general causes herpes blisters in the anal, vaginal or penile area. Either virus can produce herpes blisters on any open area of the body (finger, eyes, nose). Treatment depends on how often you get outbreak and if its hsv1 or 2, which can be determined by culture.
