    Herpes and Genital Warts
    Is it possible to have genital Herpes and genital warts at the same time? If so which can become cancerous? Also is it possible to sleep with someone multiple times and not contract Genital Herpes? One more... is it possible to go a lifetime (Once diagnosed) without an outbreak? And what if any type of medicine can control these outbreaks. Also are there any other side effects or risks of having Genital Herpes.

    You bet you can have both as they are not mutually exclusive. As for the rest, I can't answer.

    They are not necessarily known to become cancerous. I think you are confusing this with HPV.

    Yes, but not likely. Even though the person may not have an outbreak they may still be contagious.

    Again, possible, but unlikely.

    Giving them to other people is a risk, as is having to have a ceserean section if you are a woman.

    Yes you can have them both at the same time they are two different viruses all together.

    HPV is the cancerous one. Genital herpes has very little issues other then getting blisters on you.

    Yes you can have sex multiple times without contracting either but it's very unlikely.

    Again you can go a long time without symptoms but you do have the virus and can spread them.

    Here's some good info on HPV and Genital Herpes.

    Hope that helps and if you think you might have something don't spread it and get tested!
