Yes that is very possible with herpes. If your blood test shows that you have herpes it is 100%. So, you have herpes. And you have HPV. They're not really related but HPV makes it easier for herpes to infect you. However, HPV usually goes away on its own, especially if you are infected with low-risk HPV. Herpes is just annoying and won't do any damage to you in the long run. So, it really isn't that bad. Just make sure you keep up with the pap smears to make sure your HPV is going away instead of advancing.
