The more active you are the more likely you are to have been exposed to both hsv and HPV. Hsv can be passed through just kissing, so a lot of kids get it long before they are sexually active. I’m of the boomer generation, and somewhere around 50% of us have one or another version of HSV. I have been lucky enough not to get it (so far!), but I don’t believe there is an accepted test for HPV unless you have a cervix.
For HPV, my personal opinion is that it is worth it to get vaccinated no matter what age you are, since only certain strains cause cancer and you might not have gotten those strains yet. The medical profession doesn’t agree with me however.
