A member asked:

What does hpv rank amongst stds? compared to herpes, is hpv worse & will it cause any health issues other than cancer? will it affect my health?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perspective: Each STD has its own set of complications.There is evidence,prior to the HPV vaccine, that as many as 70% of college age women had evidence of prior disease.It can produce genital warts or give you cancer.Herpes is painful and recurrent,hard to treat & can kill your baby.Gonorrhea or chlamydia can make you sterile.Others have specific issues. Take your pick. HPV for most is relatively mild.
