Question 7

I am having warts on my penis for the last three to four months and I have done several tests where I got positive for HSV2. But the problem is that the warts on my penis are due to HPV. How can I differentiate between HPV and HSV2 because from the last few days I am feeling that some warts are growing on my scalp at the hair roots which is causing pain. Can you please let me know if HPV causes warts on the whole body. In my condition I am having them on the penis head scalp and on my feet. How can I know if it is HPV or HSV2 when my report has come positive?
