  Genital warts and HPV are common STIs. These types of warts, and the HPV types that cause them, dont increase your risk for getting cancer. […] Treatment can get rid of the warts, but it cant cure them or HPV. Youll always be infectious and need to practice safe sex with your partners. […] Genital warts may go away on their own because your immune system can fight off the infection that causes it. However, they may get larger, multiply or become increasingly uncomfortable. […] Treatment to remove genital warts doesnt cure you from HPV. Even if you dont have an active outbreak and your warts were removed, you can still spread HPV. […] Genital warts and HPV is lifelong. That means even with treatment to remove them, the warts may come back. […] Yes. Theres no cure for HPV, the virus that causes genital warts. As a result, you can get genital warts over and over again. […] Genital warts generally dont cause any serious health complications. The strain of HPV that cause genital warts is low-risk. […] No, genital warts dont turn into cancer.

• #2 Genital Warts and HPV Infection: What You Need to Know

  https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/hpv-genital-warts/genital-warts-and-hpv

  HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in North America. Certain forms of the virus can cause cervical, rectal, vulvar, vaginal, and penile cancer. […] Because there is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear, people who have been infected should be examined and treated, if necessary. […] HPV is a lifelong infection. Your genital warts may go away with treatment, but they could always come back. […] Having high-risk HPV can increase your risk of cervical, rectal, and penile cancer. But not all forms of the virus are linked to these cancers. If you have genital warts, it is important to get annual checkups to screen for cancer. […] An HPV infection never goes away. You can get genital warts again, even after treatment. […] The strains of HPV that cause genital warts are not the same strains linked to cancer. Genital warts are not cancer.

  Genital warts are benign manifestations of human papillomavirus (HPV) that can cause discomfort and significant patient distress. Treatment options abound, and recurrence is common. Patient preferences, available resources, cost, and clinician experience should guide treatment selection. […] Recurrence rates range from 25% to 67%. Patients with asymptomatic lesions may prefer no treatment, and one-third of cases clear spontaneously. […] Clearance rates with surgical excision range from 89% to 93%, and recurrence rates are 19% to 29% at 12 months.

  Genital warts are treatable. You can also go extended periods of time without an outbreak, but it may not be possible to get rid of the warts forever. […] So even with treatment, genital warts may come back in the future. This depends on whether you’ve been vaccinated, how well your immune system is functioning, the strain of HPV you have, and the amount of virus you have (viral load). […] Although genital warts may clear on their own, HPV may still be in your body. Treatment will help get rid of warts and reduce future outbreaks, though you may have to repeat treatments to clear warts completely.

• #11 Establishing a prediction model for recurrence of condyloma acuminatum

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9494849/

  We collected the clinical data of 156 patients diagnosed with condyloma acuminatum (CA), including age, gender, marriage, education level, stay up late, smoking, drinking, number of sexual partners, HPV infection status of sexual partners, genitourinary and anal diseases, condom use, other diseases of HPV infection, location and number of warts, HPV typing, etc. Analyze the risk factors affecting the recurrence of CA, explore the influencing factors and independent influencing factors of CA recurrence, establish the prediction model of CA recurrence, and evaluate its prediction value. Univariate analysis showed that stay up late, HPV infection status of sexual partners, urogenital diseases, condom use, other diseases of HPV infection and the number of CA were the influencing factors of CA recurrence. Multivariate analysis showed that condom use (OR=0.166), HPV infection status of sexual partners (OR=4.848), number of warts (OR=1.212) and urogenital diseases (OR=3.179) were independent factors affecting the recurrence of CA (P0.05). Therefore, the prediction model of CA recurrence can be established, and the area under the curve AUC of the prediction model was calculated to be 0.867 (95% CI 0.8120.923). The model established in this study has certain prediction value for the recurrence of CA and can be used to preliminarily predict the recurrence of CA.

  In summary, the univariate analysis showed that HPV type and location of age, sex, marriage, education, smoking, alcoholism and warts were not clinical factors associated with CA recurrence. Stay up late, sexual partners with HPV infection, condom use, genitourinary disorders, other diseases of HPV infection, and the number of warts were clinical factors associated with CA recurrence. Among them, sexual partners have HPV infection, the number of warts, condom use and urogenital disorders were the independent influencing factors which caused of CA recurrence. Therefore, when CA patients had the following 4 conditions, the possibility of recurrence should be highly concerned: (1) positive HPV infection in sexual partners; (2) multiple warts; (3) incorrect use of condoms. (4) accompanied by urogenital infection. This study also established a recurrence prediction model for CA patients diagnosed for the first time to provide guidance on whether CA patients need recurrence prevention treatment. At the same time, this study also used cross-validation and external validation to evaluate the stability and application value of the screening model.

  The study found that the recurrence rate of CA after wart removal treatment is between 3575%. The span of these recurrence rates is large, which aroused our thinking. Can we establish a prediction tool based on the existing clinical data of patients, and use this tool to predict the recurrence probability of newly diagnosed CA patients after warts removal treatment? […] In summary, the univariate analysis showed that HPV type and location of age, sex, marriage, education, smoking, alcoholism and warts were not clinical factors associated with CA recurrence. Stay up late, sexual partners with HPV infection, condom use, genitourinary disorders, other diseases of HPV infection, and the number of warts were clinical factors associated with CA recurrence. […] Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the HPV infection status of sexual partners (OR=4.848), the number of CA warts in patients (OR=1.212), condom use (OR=0.166), and concomitant urogenital disorders (OR=3.179) were the independent influencing factors for CA recurrence (P0.05, Table 4). It could be assumed that when a CA patient had a large number of warts, accompanied by genitourinary diseases, and sexual partners with HPV infection, the possibility of CA recurrence was greater. The correct use of condoms could prevent the recurrence of CA.

  A large number of cases of genital warts fail to respond to treatment and often recur, especially with repeated infections from sexual contact or the long-incubation period of HPV. […] Immunocompromised patients are likely to have more resistant lesions than the general population with more frequent recurrences. They are also more likely for their lesions to develop a malignant transformation into squamous cell carcinoma. […] In general, immunocompromised patients generally benefit from a combination of therapies, early addition of isotretinoin, a longer duration of treatment, and earlier implementation of surgery.
