Abstract:
Anogenital warts of the condyloma acuminatum type seem to occur quite often during HIV infection. These warts--according to our study--are not commonly caused by malignancy-associated human papilloma virus types, but by types 6 and 11 as seen in the nonimmune-compromised population. Widespread condylomata acuminata may appear in rather early stages of HIV infection and they may therefore represent early warning signs of HIV infection.
