hpv is very common. even without symptoms, any kind of hpv is more common than genital herpes.  8/10 women will get hpv at some point in their lifetime. i've never heard such a statistic for herpes.

hpv without symptoms though is considered high risk.
if ther are symptoms (warts) it is considered low risk and can be
treated effectively.

high risk patients are more likely to get cancer i believe.

i think the warts side of things are more common from what i have read.that the hpv with no symptoms as these are more likly to be high risk. warts are more of a low risk of hpv.

Genital herpes is somthing completely different and i would have no idea on that sorry
