If you do have a virused plant and you practice perfect culture (sterilize cutting tools between use on different plants, no sharing water etc.) then the virus should not pass from one plant to another. That said eventually the plant will begin to fail. As Judi said the only way to know for sure is to test.

My feeling is when you spend what Orchids.com is asking for plants you should be assured of getting a healthy plant in all ways.
