Question: are warts the same as herpes?
Answer: Warts are caused by human papillomavirus, or HPV, whereas genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus, or HSV. Warts are not a form of herpes, and HPV will not cause genital herpes. Conversely, genital herpes does not cause cervical cancer or anal cancer. There are more than 100 types of HPV.
