HSV 1 and HSV 2 Question - blessedalways - ArchivalUser - 05-19-2018
Hello,
I just wanted know is it true that HSV 1 or HSV 2 can turn in to HIV or AIDS? I ask because someone had mentioned that it could happen. I personally don't believe that is the case because in Medical School I never heard or read of such thing to happen. Please answer my question.
Thanks

My Question was answered just now. The answer is no HSV1 or HSV2 can not turn into HIV or AIDs because they are separate viruses.
Best Regards!
