WSTCHSTRHIKING

Thanks for your quick reply Mr. Hope ( as I have seen you called. ) That’s what I think as well as you replied about the HPV and the canker sore being different than HSV. But since I seem to have never had an HSV outbreak, I was just wondering if there might be some misdiagnosing? But the HPV does not look like the HSV, so I now I have to deal with the dual diagnosis 😞 Also - I think it’s great you have this wonderful support webpage. It is helping many people.

Hello all. 54 yo male from NY ( about an hour north of NYC. ) Recently got diagnosed with HSV1 but probably had it for years. I get canker sores in inner lip and have genital HPV for 30 years now. Not sure ever had herpes breakout unless the HPV or canker is HSV. I’m up for a buddy in person or text.

Hello! I am 54 yo male. Recently diagnosed with HSV1. I do not know if I ever hd a herpes outbreak. But … I got HPV when I was 23 a do get outbreaks that are always small - like a little bump. No crusting, oozing or pain. The dermatologist said it was HPV. Also - I have an area inside my lip that activates when I buy it and was told it is a canker sore. Looks like a canker and not HSV1z. No crusting or oozing. Now 30 years later I got an HSV test and it shows positive for HSV1. Wondering if the HPV is really HSV1 on genital region? But the looks of it I still think HPV. Maybe the mouth canker sore or the genital wart could be HSV1? Do I now have HPV and HSV1? Would the medicine for herpes outbreaks also help any HPV breakout if I do not know which genital STI I have? Maybe I never had any herpes outbreak but get the HPV outbreak?? Any insight? Hope my message was not too confusing. Thanks!!
