As far as I know, this would be safe. The oral herpes (sometimes called
fever blister or cold sore) would not be a contraindication to
breastfeeding.  If the mother was to have a primary (very first time)
infection, typically genital herpes, this is dangerous for a fetus. If this
is a mother that has had cold sores before, there should be no virus in her
milk. Very good hand hygiene would be prudent, i.e. don't touch your lip and
then handle the breast, pump, or ebm. Still the danger there would be
minimal, in my estimation.
The HPV, my understanding, it is an STD, not transmitted via breastmilk. If
the recipient mom is concerned, she could home pasteurize the milk. Also the
baby is 5 mos old, so less risk there too.
