A friend of mine just told me that he has caught genital herpes earlier this year from punting and now has genital warts as well, also through punting. He told me he wasn't sure if he has had them for a while and not shown symptoms or caught them recently from his recent encounters.

Anyone here caught any of these before or heard of anyone that has? How common is something like this? I've been punting for years and haven't caught anything but have heard of friends catching stuff, but this is the first time I've heard of a friend getting either warts or herpes.
