You are thinking of HPV, HSV is herpes.

There is no vaccine, it doesn't cause cancer (that we know of, at least not like HPV), and spreads via skin contact on the genital area.

Since fluids are not required for HPV or HSV and it's present on the area that a condom won't cover, condoms aren't effective for either.
