I-STD.com: Information About Sexually Transmitted Diseases A consumer web site with information about sexually transmitted diseases and therapies.Category Health Reproductive Health Sexually Transmitted Diseases HPV is a double stranded DNA virus that is the causative agent of genitalwarts. Patients with genital warts are also at risk for other STDs. http://www.i-std.com/
Extractions: Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) Some 56 million Americans have an STD other than AIDS and many more are infected each year. The causative bacterial viral, or parasitic agents are spread primarily by sexual contact, but may also be spread by the use of infected needles. Some STDs are chronic infections, but many can be cured. Quick diagnosis and treatment are often the keys to cure. The only 100% prevention is abstinence. Maintaining faithful monogamous relations with one's spouse is effective, provided both partners are free of STDs. Safe sex (use of a condom ) with a monogamous partner is the next best protection against STDs. Always remember that prevention is better than therapy. Bacterial: Gonorrhea ("clap"), a common disease worldwide, is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae . There are over 650,000 new cases in the U.S. each year. 82% of cases of gonorrhea occur in teenagers and young adults, and females are twice as likely to become infected after one act of intercourse with an infected male as males are after one act of intercourse with an infected female. Gonorrheal infections may be asymptomatic in both sexes.
Human Papillomavirus About onethird of the HPV types can be spread through sexual contact and severalcan lead to genital warts, the most recognizable sign of genital infection. http://www.idph.state.il.us/public/hb/hbpapill.htm
Extractions: HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States. It is estimated that as many as 40 million Americans are infected with the virus, and the incidence of the disease appears to be increasing. At least 70 types of HPV, some of which cause common skin warts, have been identified by scientists. About one-third of the HPV types can be spread through sexual contact and several can lead to genital warts, the most recognizable sign of genital infection. Certain types of HPV have been closely linked with the development of cervical cancer and other genital cancers. What are genital warts? Genital warts are caused by certain types of HPV. They are spread by sexual contact with an infected partner and are very contagious. Approximately two-thirds of persons who have sexual contact with a partner with genital warts will develop this disease, usually within three months of contact. It is possible to acquire HPV from an infected sexual partner who does not have noticeable warts. It is estimated that as many as 6.5 million new cases of genital warts are diagnosed annually in the United States. In women, the warts occur on the vulva, labia, inside the vagina, on the cervix or around the anus. In men, genital warts usually appear on the tip of the penis; however, they also may be found on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, or around the anus. Genital warts also can develop in the mouth of a person who has had oral sexual contact with an infected person.

Extractions: Genital Warts Factsheet 60 - December 2001 Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection caused by a virus called the human papilloma virus (HPV). Genital warts are the most common complaint diagnosed at sexually transmitted diseases clinics in the UK, accounting for around a fifth of all diagnoses in 1999. During the late 1990s, there was a rising incidence of genital warts in the UK, affecting both men and women, and in 1999 there were 70,000 cases. Though younger people tend to be more frequently affected, anyone who is sexually active may be exposed to the genital wart virus. Some forms of the genital wart virus can lead to cervical or anal cancer. This risk is higher in people with HIV because there is more chance that the wart virus will become re-activated due to loss of immunity. Transmission The genital wart virus can be contracted during unprotected anal, vaginal or oral sex. It can also be transmitted by close physical contact with the genital warts themselves, as these may shed the wart virus. Prevention Using a condom for anal, vaginal, or oral sex offers a degree of protection from infection with genital warts, or from passing on the virus to somebody else. People who are sexually active are advised to have regular sexual health check-ups, where genital warts can be diagnosed if present, and tests for other sexually transmitted infections performed. Most HIV treatment centres have an associated sexual health clinic where free and confidential treatment can be obtained without referral from your GP or HIV doctor.
Extractions: What are the symptoms? ... HPV AND PENILE AND ANAL CANCER Basic Info What is HPV? HPV, or human papillomavirus, is the name of a group of viruses that has more than 70 different types. HPV is sometimes called the wart virus because certain types of HPV cause warts on the hands, feet or genitals. The types of HPV that cause visible warts on the genitals (vulva, vagina, penis, scrotum) or anus (butt hole) are different types than those that cause warts on the hands and feet. People may have HPV and not have any warts that they can see with naked eye. Still other types may cause cells on the cervix or in the anus to change and, in some cases, develop into cancer over many, many years if left untreated. How is it spread? HPV and genital warts are usually spread by direct, skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal or oral sex with a partner who already has the virus. HPV can infect any person who is sexually active.

Extractions: What are genital warts and how are they passed on? Genital warts are the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) seen at genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics. They are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and can appear anywhere on the genital or anal area. Rarely, they can appear in the mouth, throat or nose. Warning - close up image If you'd like to see what a wart actually looks like on the skin, click on the link below. Be warned, however, that this picture is graphic and you may find it disturbing. Although most genital warts are caused by a different type of HPV to those linked to cancer, there is some overlap and affected women should be particularly vigilant about their cervical smear tests. Few people with the virus have any visible warts. They're not painful, but can irritate the skin. Genital warts don't cause any serious health problems and can be easily treated.

Extractions: Definition Genital warts , which are also called condylomata acuminata or venereal warts, are growths in the genital area caused by a sexually transmitted papillomavirus. A papillomavirus is a virus that produces papillomas, or benign growths on the skin and mucous membranes. Description Genital warts are the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the general population. It is estimated that 1% of sexually active people between the ages of 18 and 45 have genital warts; however, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing indicates that as many as 40% of sexually active adults carry the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes genital warts. Genital warts vary somewhat in appearance. They may be either flat or resemble raspberries or cauliflower in appearance. The warts begin as small red or pink growths and grow as large as four inches across, interfering with intercourse and childbirth . The warts grow in the moist tissues of the genital areas. In women, they occur on the external genitals and on the walls of the vagina and cervix; in men, they develop in the urethra and on the shaft of the penis. The warts then spread to the area behind the genitals surrounding the anus. Risk factors for genital warts include: Causes and symptoms There are about 80 types of human papillomavirus. Genital warts are caused by HPV types 1, 2, 6, 11, 16, and 18. HPV is transmitted by sexual contact. The incubation period varies from one to six months.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) AIDS was first reported in the United States in 1981. It is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a virus that destroys the body's ability to fight off infection. An estimated 1 million people are currently infected in the U.S., including more than 2000 infants, most of whom contracted the disease from their mothers. People who have AIDS are very susceptible to many life-threatening diseases, called opportunistic infections, and to certain forms of cancer. Transmission of the virus primarily occurs during sexual activity and by sharing of needles used to inject intravenous drugs. If you have questions about AIDS, you can call the U.S. Public Health Service confidential toll-free hotline number: 1-800-342-2437.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States. Experts estimate that as many as 24 million Americans are infected with HPV, and the incidence of the diseases it causes appears to be increasing. More than 60 types of HPV have been identified by scientists. Some types of the virus cause common skin warts. About one-third of the HPV types can be spread through sexual contact. Several types of HPV can lead to genital warts, the most recognizable sign of genital HPV infection. Certain other types of HPV have been closely associated with the development of cervical cancer and other genital cancers. Like many STDs, HPV infection often does not cause visible symptoms. One study reported that almost half of the women infected with HPV had no obvious symptoms. Because the virus can remain latent in the skin, infected persons may not be aware of their infection and the potential risk of transmission to others and of developing complications.
Viral Infections - Warts - DermatologyChannel A discussion about what causes warts, how they are classified, and how they are treated.Category Health Conditions and Diseases Skin Disorders Warts including common warts (verruca vulgaris), flat warts (verruca plana), plantar orfoot warts (verruca plantaris), and anogenital warts (condyloma acuminata). http://www.dermatologychannel.net/viral_infection/warts.shtml
Extractions: Warts, or verrucae (singular: verruca), are benign growths on the skin or mucous membranes that cause cosmetic problems as well as pain and discomfort. They are seen on people of all ages but most commonly appear in children and teenagers. The incubation period of a wart is 2 to 9 months following infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV), during which time an excessive proliferation of skin growth slowly devleops. Fortunately, more than 50 percent of them disappear on their own within two years. Causes More than 80 different types of HPV have been identified, and they have tropism (affinity) for different types of body tissue. Most types of HPV have an affinity for the skin and produce common warts (verruca vulgaris), flat warts (verruca plana), and plantar or foot warts (verruca plantaris). Several other types of HPV have an affinity for mucous membranes and some of these cause ano-genital warts (condyloma acuminata). HPV is passed from person to person by direct or indirect contact, and from one body location to another on the same person. The virus more easily enters the body through an area of skin that is moist, peeling, or cracked. Some types (e.g., condyloma acuminta) are transmitted sexually. The degree of contact, location of the lesions, the amount of virus present (newer warts tend to contain more viral particles than older warts), and the state of a person's immunity are among the factors that determine HPV infection.
Genital Wart Treatments [Dec 2000; 82-3] Table 1 Randomised placebocontrolled trials of imiquimod cream for genital warts. Genitalwarts completely cleared at end of treatment with, Active, Placebo, http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/band82/b82-3.html
Extractions: Anogenital warts (also called condylomas) are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They occur predominantly in sexually active young adults, and have a variety of forms. They are common, with a million consultations annually in the USA, and over 50,000 newly diagnosed patients in the UK every year. Bandolier was asked whether a recent editorial [1] suggesting that self-administered treatments were effective was correct. How can anyone tell? This seemed like a good excuse for a swift search for evidence as an exemplar of how a rapid review might be helpful and how it could be performed by a healthcare professional for, say, a health authority or primary care group wanting to make policy. Search Two self-administered treatments were mentioned, imiquimod and podophyllotoxin creams. The way forward seemed to be to look for high quality and relevant trials. The ideal would be randomised double blind trials of self-administered treatment versus placebo in patients with properly diagnosed anogenital warts. Therefore the search used PubMed, the names of the treatments, and the subheading of randomised controlled trials. The Cochrane Library was also searched using a similar strategy. Searches revealed no previous systematic reviews.

Extractions: Bandolier Bandolier Library search With HIV-negative patients complete clearance of warts at the end of treatment occurred in 51% of patients treated with imiquimod 2% or 5% cream and 6% of placebo treated patients. The number needed to treat was 2.2 (95% confidence interval 2.0 to 2.6). For at least 50% wart area reduction the number needed to treat was 1.9 (1.7 to 2.2). For complete clearance of warts at the end of treatment plus no recurrence the number needed to treat was 3.0 (2.5 to 3.8). Adverse event withdrawal was rare and no more likely with imiquimod than with placebo. Imiquimod was not effective in one trial in HIV-positive patients. RA Moore, JE Edwards, J Hopwood, D Hicks.
