genital hsv-1 AND genital warts?

[cakeface]

i have HSV-1 in the genital region but i noticed a few small bumps. i figured that it was just an outbreak but the bumps dont hurt even when applying great pressure. I was currently having an outbreak of HSV-1 but it healed very quickly while the bumps that dont hurt have gone away.
1. Does it sound like genital warts or could it be the herpes???
2. If i was to have genital warts would th make the herpes worse?
3. Can men get guardasil?
4. When should i see a doctor?

Why is it hard to tell them?  Genital hsv1 rarely sheds, you shouldn't get that many obs, and if your partner already has hsv1, the chances of them getting it from you are even slimmer than usual.

We don't have any real transmission studies on ghsv1, but we do know that ghsv2 sheds about 15-20% of days a year, and if you are female, the chances of you transmitting that to a long term, monogamous partner are 4% a year if all you do is avoid sex during an outbreak.  Since we know that ghsv1 sheds about 3% of days a year, the transmission rate is even less.

And don't get too gloomy about this - you don't even know if its HPV.

You should see a doctor now, and some doctors are giving men guardasil, but they would likely have to pay for it themselves.  If you have a regular partner, though, your partner has already been exposed to it.

It shouldn't make the herpes worse.

It might be warts, but a doctor will have to check it.
