To provide updates for the
2015 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sexually transmitted diseases
treatment guidelines on human papillomavirus (HPV) and anogenital warts (AGWs),
a review of the literature was conducted in key topic areas:
epidemiology
and burden of disease;
- transmission and natural history;
- diagnosis and management of AGWs;
- occupational exposure of healthcare workers;
- anal cancer screening among men who have sex with men (MSM); and
- HPV vaccine recommendations.
A new formulation of
imiquimod (3.75% cream) is recommended for AGW treatment. Appropriate infection
control, including performing laser or electrocautery in ventilated rooms using
standard precautions, is recommended to prevent possible transmission to
healthcare workers who treat anogenital warts, oral warts,
and anogenital intraepithelial neoplasias (eg, cervical intraepithelial
neoplasia).
Data are insufficient to recommend routine anal cancer screening
with anal cytology in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV)/AIDS or HIV-negative MSM. An annual digital anorectal examination may be
useful for early detection of anal cancer in these populations. HPV vaccine is
recommended routinely for 11- or 12-year-olds, as well as for young men through
age 21 years and young women through age 26 years who have not previously been
vaccinated. HPV vaccine is also recommended for MSM, people living with
HIV/AIDS, and immunocompromised persons through age 26 years.
