Q: Lip herpes & HPV
asked by: JEL888 on February 18th, 2009

Hi, my spouse has HPV (evident by the series of genital warts he's had over the years I known him). He also frequently gets lip sores when stressed, exposed to cold virus, etc. Is there any relationship (other than any possible name similarity) between what causes these two conditions?

Also, I've read men can't be tested to ID the HPV type, but can I via the HPV test? This way I'd know my risks for cervical cancer (I'm over 40 thus not a candidate for the new HPV vaccination I understand).

Lastly, but still related to HPV, if we remain mutual partners, if it ever possible that our bodies could become immune to the HPV type that we have and either of us ever not be infected?
