There are over 100 different stains of warts and genital warts represent a certain type of these warts. Of the 100 identified strains of HPV, more than 30 types of these strains can infect the genital tract, and therefore termed genital warts. Genital warts (HPV) are often transmitted from one person to another through sexual intercourse. Genital warts are highly contagious.

GENITOURINARY MEDICINE, Volume 69 Number 4, Pages 262-264, August 1993. Clinical Presentation of Genital Warts Among Circumcised and Uncircumcised Heterosexual Men Attending an Urban STD Clinic L S Cook, L A Koutsky, K K Holmes Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health University of Washington, Seattle, WA. Center for AIDS and STDs, School of Medicine University of Washington, Seattle, WA. Address correspondence to: LA Koutsky, PhD, Center for AIDS and STDs, 1001 Broadway, Seattle WA 98122 USA Abstract Introduction - A recent study comparing heterosexual men with and without confirmed sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in an urban STD clinic showed that uncircumcised men were less likely than circumcised men to have genital wart detectable by clinical examination (adjusted odds ratio 0.7, 95% confidence interval 0.4, 0.9). Based on these initial findings we hypothesised that the appearance and anatomic distribution of genital warts, and possibly treatment response, may be different for circumcised and uncircumcised men. Methods - The anatomic location, appearance, number of warts, and response to treatment was investigated through review of medical records of 459 heterosexual men with genital warts detected in 1988.

Warts may be raised or flat, single or multiple, small or large. They tend to be flesh-colored or whitish in appearance. Warts usually do not cause itching or burning. Sometimes genital warts are so small that they can not be seen with the naked eye. This is sometimes called "subclinical HPV." Therefore, a person may not even know he or she has the type or types of HPV that cause genital warts. The types of HPV that cause raised external genital warts are not linked with cancer. These types are usually harmless. Where can genital warts appear?

Information to Live By: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) How common is HPV? In the United States, HPV is considered to be the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD). Some studies estimate that the majority of the sexually active population is exposed to at least one or more types of HPV - although most do not develop symptoms. Because HPV is so common and prevalent, a person does not need have to have a lot of sexual partners to come into contact with this virus. What about HPV and cervical cancer? There are many different types of genital HPV. Only certain types of HPV are linked with cervical cancer. These are usually called "high-risk" types. The types of HPV that cause raised external genital warts are not linked with cancer. These are called "low-risk" types. These wart-types of HPV usually are not usually found on a female's cervix, and therefore, are not going to carry any risk of cancer. It is common for a person to be exposed and have more than one type of HPV, including several "high-risk" types. Yet, most women do not develop cervical cancer.

There are at least 80 different types of HPV; 20 can infect the genital area. At least 75% of sexually active adults have been infected with at least one type of genital HPV at some time in their life. Most do not develop visible warts; the infection may show up on a cervical smear. This is known as subclinical infection. Visible genital warts are often easy to diagnose by their typical appearance. They are usually due to HPV Types 6 and 11. Genital warts may occur in the following sites: Vulva Vagina Cervix Urethra Penis Scrotum Anus Genital warts sometimes arise in the elderly Warts on the penis Perineal warts Pigmented warts Vulvar warts People may confuse normal anatomical structures as warts.

GENITAL WARTS What is it? HPV is known by many names including venereal, anogenital, or genital warts, and condylomata acuminata. It is a viral infection of skin causing the growth of skin-colored, cauliflower-like masses of various sizes and shapes as shown by the arrows in this picture. (A tampon string is in place as she was menstruating at the time this photo was taken.) It has become very common over the last two decades infecting anywhere from 3% to 28% of the population. Several weeks to months after being exposed to a sexual partner with HPV, these painless growths occur on damp or moist surfaces in either sex. Common locations include those pictured as well as around the anus. They often begin as tiny red spots and can grow quickly into cauliflower-like masses. Infection of a woman's cervix with certain strains of this virus can lead to cervical cancer. It is crucial, therefore, for all women who have this disease to have regular pap smears. (Actually, all women who are sexually active need to have regular pap smears to look for cervical problems.)

More than 70 types of HPV have been identified; types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, and 35 are transmitted sexually and cause anogenital warts Anogenital warts caused by types 6 and 11 typically appear externally, on the penis, vulva, or anus. Types 16 and 18 cause warts on the mucous membranes (epithelium) that line the vagina, cervix, rectum, or urethra and are associated with cervical and rectal cancer. Infection is serious, although most cases do not lead to cancer.

Can the wart viruses be transmitted to the patient's baby? ... Genital Warts (HPV) At A Glance What are the human papilloma viruses? The human papilloma viruses (HPVs) are a family of over 60 different viruses responsible for causing warts. The majority of the viruses produce warts in areas other than the genitals. They are responsible for the common warts seen on the hands, fingers, and even the face. Most of these viruses are innocuous, causing nothing more than cosmetic concerns. Several virus "types" are confined primarily to the moist skin of the genitals, producing lesions in this area. The lesions produced by these genital viruses are called genital warts. The virus that causes genital warts is not the same as the virus that causes common warts. You cannot develop genital warts from the virus that causes common warts. Certain types of genital viruses can cause abnormal PAP smears and even cervical cancer. Once contracted, the virus can stay with the infected individual for life. It is estimated that over 50% of sexually active adults are carriers of one of these viruses. Men and women are equally affected. The chance of being a carrier increases with the number of sexual partners. Infection with HPV is now considered to be the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. It is also the leading cause of abnormal PAP smears and pre- cancerous changes of the cervix in women. Even though there are reports of pre-cancerous changes occurring on the skin of the male penis, the incidence is insignificant compared to the large number of women who experience pre-cancerous changes of the cervix.

EPIDEMIOLOGY The incidence of genital warts has increased in recent years. It is now the second commonest sexually transmitted disease seen in Social Hygiene Clinics. The incidence in recent five years are shown as follows: No of new cases % of total new cases Although anogenital papillomavirus infection is mostly sexually transmitted, non-sexual acquisition is possible, for example HPV 1 and HPV 2 which are the pathogens of common warts, have been reported in genital warts. Recent studies have also suggested that mucosotropic HPV is frequently transmitted vertically when a state of latency seems to be the rule. Sub-clinical and latent HPV Infections are now well recognized. Presence of koliocytes in cervical smear without clinical infection is not uncommon. Using more sophisticated means like DNA hybridization and polymerase chain reaction, one can detect a even higher rates of latent HPV infections in the general population. The incidence of latent or sub-clinical infections may be as great as 100 times that of clinical disease. Perianal warts may present with or without genital warts. Local spread of infection to the perianal regions is a possible mechanism when there is co-existing of genital lesions. When only perianal warts are present, anal intercourse is a likely route of transmission although such history is rarely volunteered by the patient.

However, other strains of HPV (High Risk types) e.g., types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 52, 55, 56, and 58 are implicated in the development of moderate to severe squamous dysplasia and of overt cancer of the cervix, anus, vulva, vagina, and penis. Photo Gallery 1 Photo Gallery 2 Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) selectively infect the epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes. These infections may be asymptomatic (without any problem), produce warts, or be associated with a variety of benign and malignant diseases.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) Testing for herpes and genital warts Originally Published: May 23, 1997 / Updated on: August 24, 2001 Alice, I have recently gone to a Planned Parenthood STD Clinic. From what they told me, they tested for everything "curable" (i.e., they did not test for HIV, genital warts, or herpes). I know where to get tested for HIV, but my question is: are there tests for herpes and genital warts? What are the odds of someone having herpes or genital warts and being asymptomatic? I plan to use a condom during intercourse regardless, but must I do the same for oral sex as well? Is there any way of knowing for sure if someone is clean of STDs? Signed, Confused Dear Confused, Just as falling in love takes some courage and trust, so does choosing to be sexual with someone. There is always a risk of "catching something." What people can do is minimize the risk by using condoms, dams, and lube each and every time they have oral, vaginal, or anal sex. ASHA Herpes Resource Center web site . No bloods tests for HPV are available at this time. Herpes can be transmitted when sores are present, or during times of viral shedding, when there are no visible lesions, but the virus is active on the surface of the skin. Although herpes can be transmitted during times of viral shedding, a person is infectious from viral shedding probably for a few days out of the year. The most likely time for herpes to be transmitted is when sores are present. Again, herpes can affect people differently. Some people experience painful episodes of herpes that drive them to seek medical attention, while others have such mild symptoms that they do not notice, or do not consider them a health concern.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) Genital warts Originally Published: May 06, 1994 / Updated on: July 17, 1998 Dear Alice, An ex-girlfriend told me recently that she has genital warts. She was a virgin at the time we met so I must have given it to her. I am waiting for my test results but I must be infected. I have learned (too late!) that we can't get rid of the virus. If I get married some time later, would I have to use condoms all my life with my wife so I don't pass the virus to her? What are the complications for women? NANH Dear NANH, Genital warts, also called condyloma, are growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are usually, but not always, spread sexually. The incubation time (time from exposure to appearance of growths) may range from a few weeks to many months or years. Some people harbor the virus and transmit it to others without ever developing the growths themselves. New information has shown that the virus can be found in some people prior to sexual activity. With a long incubation period and the potential presence of the virus without any sexual activity, it's hard to determine the source of the virus. Diagnosis and treatment are important because some wart viruses can cause cervical cancer. Available treatments for HPV do not completely eliminate the virus. Instead, treatment is aimed at removing uncomfortable growths, reducing the number of viral particles, and, perhaps, stimulating the immune response to help control the infection. Treatment depends on the areas involved. In most cases, chemical, electrocautery (heat), cryotherapy (freezing), or laser treatment is used. Excision (surgical removal of infected tissue) is used only occasionally. Most treatments are done in a health care provider's office, and are tailored to the needs of the patient.
