Genital herpes, caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2, leads to recurrent blisters and can transmit even when symptoms are mild. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infects the skin or mucosa, with high-risk strains linked to penile, anal, and throat cancers. Early detection enables timely antiviral treatment, wart removal, and vaccination to prevent serious complications.
Quick Facts
2 in 3 adults worldwide carry HSV-1.
90% of high-risk HPV infections show no symptoms.
Vaccination before 45 can cut genital wart risk by 90%.
Our solutions
Genital herpes, caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2, can trigger recurring blisters and remains contagious even with mild symptoms. Human papillomavirus (HPV) affects skin and mucosal tissue, with certain high-risk strains linked to cancers of the penis, anus, and throat.

What are herpes and HPV?
Herpes is a viral infection caused by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), leading to blisters or sores around the genitals, mouth, or anus.
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a group of over 100 viruses, some of which cause genital warts, while high-risk types can lead to cancer. Both infections are common and manageable with early diagnosis and treatment.
How do men get herpes or HPV?
Transmission occurs through skin-to-skin or sexual contact, including oral, vaginal, or anal sex. Condoms reduce risk but do not offer full protection, as the virus can infect uncovered skin.
What are the early symptoms?
Herpes: small blisters, itching, or burning around the genitals or mouth.
HPV: often no symptoms; sometimes small growths or warts appear on the penis, groin, or anus.
Even without visible signs, both viruses can be transmitted, that’s why testing is essential after any unprotected contact.
How is herpes or HPV testing done at Menscape?
Testing is quick and confidential.
Herpes: diagnosed through PCR DNA swab or blood antibody test.
HPV: tested via DNA swab to identify high-risk and low-risk strains.
Results are ready same day, and all consultations are handled by licensed doctors.
Is testing painful?
No. Swab collection may cause brief mild discomfort, but the procedure is fast and done with sterile, single-use tools to ensure comfort and safety.
How soon after exposure can I test?
Herpes: best tested after 7–10 days from suspected exposure or when symptoms appear.
HPV: testing can be done anytime after contact, as the virus may remain undetected for weeks, so your doctor will advise on the best timing.
Can herpes or HPV be cured?
Herpes: there is no permanent cure, but antiviral medication (like acyclovir or valacyclovir) controls outbreaks and reduces transmission.
HPV: in most men, the immune system clears the virus naturally within 1–2 years. Warts or lesions can be treated and removed effectively at Menscape.
Can I get vaccinated if I’m already infected?
Yes. The HPV vaccine still provides protection against other strains you haven’t contracted yet. It’s recommended for men up to age 45, especially if sexually active.
Is my information confidential?
Absolutely. Menscape provides discreet, doctor-only care, no national health uploads, no public reporting, and all results are delivered securely as a private PDF.
Can I still have sex after diagnosis?
Yes, with precautions.
Avoid sexual contact during active herpes outbreaks.
Use condoms and discuss vaccination with your partner.
Menscape doctors provide personalized advice to maintain intimacy safely while preventing reinfection.
Swabs from the urethra or lesions take just a few seconds, with only mild discomfort.
For HSV, PCR is accurate from 3–5 days after contact. For HPV, DNA testing is best done 2–3 weeks post-exposure.
Most local policies cover testing but not vaccination, always confirm with your provider.
Yes. Gardasil 9 helps prevent infection with new HPV strains and reduces wart recurrence.
No. All results remain confidential unless disclosure is legally mandated.
Can international patients get herpes/HPV testing at Menscape Bangkok?
Yes, Menscape provides confidential herpes and HPV testing for international patients without Thai residency requirements. Walk-in testing is available with rapid results. If treatment is needed, our doctors can prescribe antiviral medications immediately. English-language reports are provided.
