Boy, are you spreading misinformation here. The herpes simplex virus and genital warts are not related. Genital warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), NOT the herpes simples virus (HSV). These are TWO DIFFERENT VIRUSES. You "clarified" the matter by saying, and I quote, "Herpes is a virus, whereas the genital warts or "sores" are a reaction to the virus; they are caused by the virus" You also think that "the terms "genital warts" and "genital herpes" are often used interchangeably... '' Not so.
You cited the CDC's page on herpes and applied the information indiscriminately to genital warts. No reasonably knowledgeable person would make this mistake. You are certainly no authority on this subject and should refrain from dispensing advice and information.
