Prevalence of Genital Warts Among Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic Patients—Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Network, United States, January 2010 to December 2011

Abstract

There is a significant burden of GW in STD clinic populations, most notably in men. Given the opportunity for prevention with a quadrivalent HPV vaccine, STD clinics may be an ideal setting for monitoring trends in GW prevalence among men (MSW and MSM). However, given the observed low GW prevalence among female STD clinic patients, STD clinics may not provide an appropriate setting to monitor the impact of HPV vaccine among women.
