If you have had any type of sexual activity including oral sex, anal, rubbing of genitals, and in some rare cases hand to genital contact, you can contract either. In some rare cases you can infect yourself with the herpes virus if you have recently contracted the virus orally and spread it to the genitals. You can catch oral herpes VERY easily and as many as 90% of the population already has it. t is also possible to have either HPV or HSV and have no symptoms at all, so just because your partner does not exhibit lesions or warts you cannot assume lack of viral shedding. There is no cure for herpes, although there are medications to help control the symptoms. Genital warts can be treated, pr your body can clear them in time. Even after treatment you can still spread the virus for some time. There are type specific tests for both of these conditions. You said you may have one or the other. Has it been diagnosed by a doctor and have you had a culture taken? If not, you cannot assume anything. Most importantly, you cannot assume that your partner has cheated on you. You should have an open and honest discussion before jumping to conclusions. As far as spreading it to your partner. First they should be tested for HSV. Men cannot be tested for HPV without visible symptoms, but women can have tests to help rule it out. If your partner already has the same virus as you, then there is no concern of spreading it. If they do not, you can reduce the chances by taking antivirals for herpes, avoiding sex during outbreaks, and by practicing safter sex practices. There is no 100% way to avoid it other than avoiding all sexual acts. Get those test results and that will really help you to know what is best for you both! both HSV and HPV are spread by skin to skin contact.

Use a condom every time you have sex. And you can have herpes or Genital wart and not have any symptoms and still pass it to some one else.
