HPV?

[peanutter]

I wouldn't have thought so, but I was told by a friend that she tested positive to HPV, and (as she and her DP have never had any sexual partners of any variety than each other) her Dr suggested that it might be from a combination of cold sores plus oral sex ... cold sores are apparently another version of HPV.

No idea whether that is possible, but worth checking ...?

Cold sores are a form of herpes. Oral sex with cold sores could lead to genital herpes. Herpes and HPV are completely different things.

HPV can be passed from mother to baby. So Even if you are a virgin you could still have a strain of HPV.
Cold sores are a Herpes virus, which I thought was different to HPV(Human Papilloma Virus? Warts being different to cold sores.
