Is it possible to be immune to the virus that causes warts?

I’ve never had a wart or a cold sore. Growwing up, my sister got plantar’s warts often, and we walked around barefoot all the time and used the same bathroom. I’ve kissed plenty of guys in my day, and haven’t ever had a cold sore, either. I get regular "bugs" that go around… colds, flus, mono, strep, etc, but no warts. Is that normal? Am I just lucky?

It is posible to be a carrier.
This is something that is hard to predict and understand. Some people are completely uneffected by certain things. There is no clear sign, immunity or lack of symptoms just happens.
It is even present in the case of A.I.D.S./H.I.V. There are Carriers that get limited symptoms and are barely effected. There have been some people found that with it present in their system for 20+ years they still have not been attacked by, effected by, or shown symptoms of such a horrible disease. It is not talked about alot but it is true. Unfortunately this gave foul for a couple people to containue to spread it while claiming it was no risk their their personal health so why should they care.
I would like to note that Different Blood Types react to Different Viruses differently. As a Result some Blood Types have nearly been wiped out in plagues while the others were bearly effected and visa versa. This also suggest the posiblity that humans once had more Blood Types, but that they may have been wiped out in posibly something the current types are barely or not at all effected by.
The virus that causes warts is transmitted by direct contact but an individual’s immune system plays a big role in whether or not one gets warts. Not eveyrone gets warts. And if you don’t have oral herpes (HSV-1), it may mean you’ve never been in contact with an open lesion. I hope this was smart planning and not just dumb luck.
Its not POSSIBLE to be immune to viruses. This just shows that you have a really good defensive immune system. Isn’t a cold sore a type of herpes? Warts are only caused when a small opening/cut in your skin gets infected with the wart virus. So no, you are not "immune" to it, but you sure are lucky!
Yes, it is possible for you to be immune to viruses. There was a prostitute that is being studied because she repeatedly got exposed to HIV and never came down with AIDS. Its her unique genetic profile.
The people who have sickle cell anemia have developed a resistance to malaria. Malaria needs whole red blood cells so those individuals with "sickle cells" make poor choices to spread the disease. It is believed that sickle cell anemia evolved as a defense to malaria.
