The two viruses:
Genital warts and genital herpes are both an incurable
virus. They are both very much alike but there are
some differences and this can mean the difference
between "just there and bothersome" and
"there with a lot of pain without a cure".
Both viruses are caused by different strains and both
cause bumps to appear on the genitalia. Whereas genital
warts symptoms are difficult to assess, genital
herpes will be very painful for the first month or
two. Both gential warts and genital
herpes are relatively common around the world
in both sexes and all sexual orientations.

Genital Warts
Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus.
There are about a hundred different strains of the
virus and none of them are pleasant. Genital warts
are also a sexually transmitted disease but millions
carry the HPV virus in their body and never get warts
or genital warts. Warts on the genital area are usually
small bumps, sometimes so tiny that only a doctor
can say whether or not a person has them. Genital
warts are contagious, and although they do not
always cause pain, they are more easily tranmittable
than genital herpes. Wearing a condom during sex may
not always protect a person from contracting genital
warts as the condom only covers the penis. The scrotum
or anus can touch any part of the other person's body
and so be infected. Genital warts can vary in color
and may be pink or white with a cauliflower like appearance.
Genital warts appear in bunches and will not go away
unless they are addressed with a proper treatment
Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is the more serious of the two sexually
transmitted diseases and the one most people hear
about. Genital herpes cannot be contracted unless
through intercourse, that is oral, anal and vaginal
sex. If a condom is used, a person should be safe
from contracting herpes. Unfortunately, some people
may not be aware that they have herpes and this can
lead to the spread of the disease. There are different
strains of herpes and genital herpes is just one of
the strains in the herpes simplex virus group. The
genital herpes virus is a tricky one but some of the
signs are fever, body aches and headaches. Then eventually
very small painful blisters appear all over the genitalia
- inside the vaginal canal in women and around the
scrotum in men. When a person first contracts the
disease, the herpes will be at its most painful and
appear more quickly. In those who have had genital
herpes for a long time, the breakouts will be less
painful and less frequent - perhaps once a year.
