genital herpes
An infection by human herpes
virus that is transmitted through intimate contact
with the moist mucous linings of the genitals. This
contact can involve the mouth, the vagina, or the
genital skin. Following infection, the virus travels to
nerve roots near the spinal cord and settles there
permanently. When an infected person has a herpes
outbreak, the virus travels down the nerve fibers to
the site of the original infection; when it reaches the
skin, redness and blisters occur. Commonly called
herpes.
genital warts
Warts confined primarily to the
moist skin of the genitals or around the anus.
Genital warts are caused by the human papillo-
maviruses (HPVs), which are transmitted through
sexual contact. The virus can also be transmitted
from mother to baby during childbirth. Also known
as condyloma acuminatum, condylomata, and vene-
real warts. See also 
HPV.
