Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the genital tract is a sexually transmitted disease. Genital tract HPV infections have three forms:
1. clinically evident Condylomata acuminate,

2. subclinical HPV infections,

3. latent infection identified by a molecular biology test.

Vulvar warts are treated best by local application of podophyllotoxin or trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Cryotherapy is a good alternative when there are few warts. Laser vaporization, interferon treatment is usually reserved for recurrent CA. 5-Fluorouracil is best for widespread AC treatment. Condylomata acuminata can grow faster during pregnancy and they usually need treatment. Currently TCA or cryotherapy is the preferred treatment in pregnancy. Caesarean section has not been shown to prevent the transmission of HPV to the infant or to lower the risk of the development of laryngeal papiloma.
