75%-80% of sexually active American's will have HPV at some point in their lives. It is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the US. 1 in 4 people have HSV-2 in the US. 80% have HSV-1. Both HPV and Herpes are highly communicable can spread by brief touch, not just sexual intercourse, so any act where skin is exposed can spread these highly communicable diseases. Therefore any act allowing for touch can spread Herpes and HPV, including oral. Condoms do not protect against these two diseases. Some people do not have symptoms of Herpes and HPV can be hidden, but they can still be spread the disease. So even if a partner says they do not have it, you are still at risk. Herpes cannot be cured. HPV can be chronic and cause cancer.
