Of course, testing HIV positive is much worse, but there are so many other sexually transmitted diseases that can cause you grief.
Know your partner. Do a body check and then cross your fingers that she/he is telling you the truth.

I totally agree that HPV is much better than Herpes, but there is still no cure for HPV (warts)...they are in testing phases for a vaccination, though, from what I heard on the radio... You can remove warts and then there's supposedly a very small reoccrrence rate (I forgot the %), but you're still a carrier no matter what. Whether you can still pass it on is up to debate, but researchers do believe you can catch it even if there are no visible signs.
