 AB    A cohort of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected (n = 253) and
       uninfected (n = 658) women was prospectively studied to assess the
       relationship between venereal warts and HIV status, adjusting for
       self-reported and biologic measures of sexual risk behavior.
       Participants were assessed every 6 months for venereal warts and other
       sexually transmitted diseases, self-reported sexual behavior, and CD4
       cell counts. The incidence of venereal warts was significantly increased
       in HIV-infected women (8.2 vs. 0.8/100 person-years of follow-up). This
       difference remained after adjusting for measures of high-risk sexual
       behavior and was observed in women at all levels of immune function,
       including those with > or = 500/mm3 CD4 cells. The increased risk of
       venereal warts in HIV infection can occur relatively early in HIV
       disease and appears chiefly attributable to a higher risk of progression
       from subclinical to clinical human papillomavirus (HPV) disease rather
       than to a higher risk of HPV acquisition.
