Herpes is not a skin cancer. It is a sexually transmitted infection, so it is infection that you have been in contact due to sexual activity.
Generally patients that get one sexually transmitted infection might have other infections as well so in your case because you are having genital warts this might mean that you might have contracted HPV as well which is a sexually transmitted infection as well but is different from herpes.
I would recommend you to have a visit with your doctor and have a pap smear (as a routine check) and also discuss the chance of removing the warts.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
