Can a HPV breakout show up as hsv on a std test?

If you have hpv and have a breakout
and You scratch,shave or pick at it,
can it show up as positive for Herpes simplex?

No. If you get a blood test it will tell you exactly what you have. If it says you are infected with something it means you are. There are no false positives. However, there are false negatives so you should make sure you get tested frequently. The test will NEVER mistake one disease/infection for another. Hope this helps!

hpv is a different virus.  Are you asking about hpv or hsv ( the virus that causes genital herpes )?

no... only hsv shows up as herpes from an std test or what good would std testing be if one std shows up as another on a test?
