WARTS - ANOGENITAL
Treatment Guideline Chart
Anogenital warts (condylomas) are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) with >90% of the lesions caused by genotypes 6 and 11.
Transmission is most often by sexual contact.
Many HPV infections are subclinical, transient, and clear spontaneously within 12 months but may also remain latent and reactivate after several years.
