Human papillomavirus is a diverse group of DNA-based viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. More than 100 different human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been characterized. Some HPV types cause benign skin warts, or papillomas, for which the virus family is named. HPVs associated with the development of such "common warts" are transmitted...
I have a question. I had HPV that causes cervical dysplasia about 12 years ago and my paps have been normal since then. Now I have one of the strains that cause warts and have been getting the acid treatments from my doctor to remove them. I keep reading that its harder to rid your body of if you have another STI. Is the herpes virus considered another STI....some places I read it is and others it isn't. I have had cold sores off and on since I was a kid, not often but maybe once or twice a year. Will that make it harder to get rid of the hpv virus that is causing warts??

The thing I know is herpes is another STI.

HSV (herpes)is a STI. However, what kind of sores are you talking about? HSV-1 is the cold sore type found on your lips (mouth) HSV-2 is the genital kind. Therefore, if you have HSV1 that should not have an affective on HPV/GW but if you have HSV-2, then yes it can make it harder to rid into a dormant stage.

It is only oral cold sores that I have had so this shouldn't affect ridding myself of hpv should it?

The cold sore strain HSV-1 should not effect you with ridding the virus. No. Alot people get cold sores. It is very common. I know you can rid the virus. WE can do it together. Do you take vitamins? Folic Acid is amazing for this virus.

Thanks. I have started on vitamins. Right now I am on a multivitamin, C, D, and E. I just started them last week. I will get started on the folic acid too. Anything to get rid of this. I know that stress doesn't help any but that is something I have a lot of in my life right now that I can't seem to control but hopefully soon that will start to change. Thanks everyone on here for the suggestions and support. It does help.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
