Abstract
Ninety male partners of women with genital condylomata were evaluated for evidence of condylomata by visual examination of the genitalia with the colposcope, urethroscopy, and biopsy. Fifty-three men (59%) were found initially to have condylomata and nine other cases were found on reevaluation for a total prevalence of 69%. Thorough evaluation with the use of acetic acid, magnification and liberal use of biopsy is stressed. Urethroscopy may not be a necessary part of the routine screening evaluation.
