Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: We examined the proportion of anogenital warts in men who have sex with men attending a sexual health center. Anal warts were most common in younger men who have sex with men (5.8% for age <21 years) and became less common with age (2.8% in age >50 years), but penile warts occurred at approximately the same proportion (~1.5%) over all age groups. Abstract : A study of men who have sex with men attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic found that anal warts became less common with age, but penile warts occurred at the same proportion over all age groups.Supplemental digital content is available in the text.
