Genital warts
Original language description
Genital warts are a common, sexually transmitted infection caused by the human papillomaviruses, representing a significant burden on the health of the predominantly young sexually active population. Over 90% of genital warts are caused by low-risk HPV types 6 and 11. Despite the benign nature of the disease high recurrence rates increase medical costs and may have negative psychosocial impact. A wide range of therapies are available, but none has absolute clearance rate. Therefore avoiding transmission of HPV infection is the best prevention. Besides responsible sexual behavior, prophylactic vaccines are currently available providing almost 100% protection against genital warts, if applied before the initiation of sexual life.
