Abstract
Condylomata acuminata (venereal warts) is a sexually transmitted disease which has increased markedly in both adults and children during the past 15 years. The human papilloma virus is notoriously difficult to treat and often requires multiple office visits utilizing a variety of treatment modalities. Enhancing patient compliance through an increased understanding of the infection, its transmission, pathogenesis, comfort measures and evaluation of the patient's reaction to the diagnosis is essential. Despite the fact that the majority of cases can be managed within an office setting, the nurse practitioner needs to be aware of situations requiring specialist referral. The patient will need tremendous support during treatment and in regard to future health care needs.
