Twenty-Year Trends in the Incidence and Prevalence of Diagnosed Anogenital Warts in Canada

Abstract

These population-based findings suggest that AGWs are a substantial burden to Manitobans and that their pattern has changed over time, with incidence and prevalence becoming higher in men than women. Monitoring the future trends in AGWs will provide an early marker of the effectiveness and duration of protection of human papillomavirus vaccination at a population level.
