If a women has genital warts they definitely know they have it. You can physically see them!
I think you meant to say half the women in America have HPV (the virus that causes genital warts) and never know. Even then, I don't know how accurate your information is or where you got it from.
According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention):
"Approximately 20 million people are currently infected with HPV. At least 50 percent of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. By age 50, at least 80 percent of women will have acquired genital HPV infection. About 6.2 million Americans get a new genital HPV infection each year.
Most people who have a genital HPV infection do not know they are infected. The virus lives in the skin or mucous membranes and usually causes no symptoms."

I got diagnosed with herpes virus (type 2) about 4 years ago, whilst I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. I understand a lot of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date other men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/w44Iq everything changed.
Not only was I able to clear away all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program provided the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.

I don't think it's genital warts they could have and not know. It's the virus that causes it. HPV
