Prevalence of other sexually transmissible infections in patients with newly diagnosed anogenital warts in a sexual health clinic

It is anticipated that human papillomavirus vaccination will lead to a decline in anogenital wart incidence as well as other human papillomavirus associated disease. Although one opportunity for testing for other sexually transmissible infections may be lost in this population, the decrease in anogenital warts will leave clinicians with more time to pursue other screening programs. Education and screening campaigns should continue to focus on the asymptomatic nature of the majority of sexually transmissible infections.
