AB A  16-year-old  boy  presents  with  growths  in  the  genital  area  for  about  1  month  (Figure  118-1).  He  has  never  had  a  sexually  transmitted  disease  (STD)  or  vaccination  against  human  papillomavirus  (HPV)  infection.  He  has  had  multiple  sexual  partners.  The  patient  is  told  that  he  has  genital  warts  which  are  an  STD  caused  by  HPV.  The  treatment  options  are  discussed  and  he  chooses  to  have  cryotherapy  with  liquid  nitrogen.  A  urine  test  for  gonorrhea  and  Chlamydia  is  performed  and  the  patient  is  tested  for  syphilis  and  HIV.  Fortunately,  all  the  additional  tests  are  negative.  Further  patient  education  is  performed  and  follow-up  is  arranged.
