If someone is infected with herpes simplex virus or anal warts, can they donate blood to someone or is there a chance of getting infected by doner?
Is the virus completely curable.?

Is it possible to get genital warts if you have never had any sort of sexual interaction?

[jerryross]

You failed to mention oral and mucous membrane like the throat and or the vagina. Folks, especially young sex hungry kids need to keep in mind.
