what if i have been exposed to oral herpes but not genital herpes? can my boyfriend get oral herpes through contact with my genitals? and then can i get the virus sexually? so this means that HPV cause herpes? why isn't there a test for men to be tested for this virus?

1)  Yes, you can have oral herpes but not genital herpes.  
2)  No your bf cannot contact oral herpes through your genitals
3)  No
4)  HPV and herpes are two different viruses.  One does not cause the other
5)  There is a HERPES blood test for men & woman but there is not a HPV test for men.  The only approved hpv test is for women and it is taken at the time of a pap (usually)

Also, this is the HPV forum not the herpes forum.  The herpes forum has some wonderful people on there that will help answer your questions.
