A female college student is distressed at the recent appearance of genital warts, an assessment finding that her care provider has confirmed as attributable to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
Which of the following information should the care provider give the client?
A) "There is a chance that these will clear up on their own without any treatment."
B) "It's important to start treatment soon, so I will prescribe you pills today."
C) "Unfortunately, this is going to greatly increase your chance of developing pelvic inflammatory disease."
D) "I'd like to give you an HPV vaccination if that's okay with you."
Ans: A
Feedback:
Genital warts may resolve spontaneously, although this does not preclude recurrence. Many individuals will clear the virus and become negative within 1 to 2 years; it is unclear if development of an effective immune response completely clears the infection. Pharmacologic treatments are topical, and vaccination is ineffective after infection has occurred. HPV infection is not correlated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
