Is HPV less transmissible than HSV?

Not sure exactly--but according to the stats you have a much better chance of getting HPV than HSV.
Per the CDC on HPV:
Quote:Quote:
About 79 million Americans are currently infected with HPV. About 14 million people become newly infected each year. HPV is so common that most sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives.
Compare that to the stats on Genital Herpes HSV-2:
Quote:Quote:
CDC estimates that, annually, 776,000 people in the United States get new herpes infections. Genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, 16% of persons aged 14 to 49 years have HSV-2 infection. [1] The overall prevalence of genital herpes is likely higher than 16.2%, because an increasing number of genital herpes infections are caused by HSV-1.
According to the LA county health department it is harder for men to get HSV-2 compared to women

– Female to male transmission (no condom, no
visible symptoms): 4%
– Male to female transmission (no condom, no
visible symptoms): 17%
According to a 2011 study the transmission rates for HPV are about equal for men and women:

If one person in a heterosexual couple has human papillomavirus (HPV), there's a 20 percent chance his or her partner will pick up the virus within six months.
The study, the largest-yet analysis of HPV transmission rates, found no difference between male-to-female transmission rates and female-to-male transmission rates.
