  15. Genital Warts (HPV types 6 and 11 common) • Symptoms/signs • Flat, papular or pedunculated growths on genital mucosa • Generally asymptomatic, can be painful, friable or pruritic • Investigations • 3-5% acetic acid turns infected genital mucosa white, but little evidence • Bx only if dx uncertain, no response to tx, or patient immunocompromised • Treatment • External: No definitive treatment • Podofilox 0.5% bid x3d, then 4d no therapy, repeat prn ≤ 4 cycles (total area≤10 cm2) • Imiquimod 5% cream QHS, TIW ≤ 16wks • Cryotherapy (various forms) • Podophylin resin 10-25% OR ticholoracetic acid OR bichloroacetic acid • Surgical removal, laser therapy, intralesional interferon • Special notes • Tx may reduce, does not eliminate infection, unclear impact on transmission • Genital warts not an indication for HPV testing, change in frequency of Pap, or colposcopy • Cervical: exclude HGSIL before tx, consult specialist • Vaginal: liquid nitrogen, TCA/BCA • Urethral meatus: liquid nitrogen or podophyllin • Anal: cryotherapy, TCA/ BCA, surgical removal

  16. Pediculosis pubis (pubic lice) • Symptoms/signs • Lice or nits on pubic hair • Treatment Recommended: • Permethrin 1% cream or Pyrethrins with piperonyl butoxide • Alternative : • Malathion 0.5% lotion • Ivermectin 250 ug/kg repeated in 2 weeks • Special notes • Resistance to pediculides increasing • Use malathion when treatment failure believed because of resistance • Treat sex partners within previous month

  17. Scabies (Sarcoptes cabiei) • Symptoms/signs • Classic burrowing rash, pruritus may persist for ≤ 2wks • Treatment • Recommended: permethrin cream 5% to all areas of the body from the neck down, washed off after 8-14h • Ivermectin 200 ug/kg PO, repeated in 2wks • Alternative: Lindane 1% total body, neck down (toxicity: aplastic anemia, seizure) • Decontaminate bedding/clothing • Special notes • Sensitization to Sarcoptesscabiei occurs before pruritus. With 1st infection takes ≤several wks to develop, may occur ≤24h of reinfection • In adults usually sexually acquired, but not in children • Norwegian scabies (i.e., crusted scabies): aggressive infestation occurs in immunodeficient, debilitated or malnourished persons

  18. Key Points • Use syndrome classification to simplify differential diagnosis. • Most genital ulcer disease in the U.S. is HSV or syphilis. • If treating empirically for cervicitis/urethritis, treat for both NG and CT. • New diagnoses mandate testing for other STDs, especially HIV and syphilis. • Test and treat all sex partners. (not generally recommended for candidiasis)

  19. Screening • Includes: • (1) education/counseling on safe sex, • (2) identification of asymptomatic infected persons and symptomatic persons unlikely to seek tx, • (3) diagnosis/treatment, • (4) evaluation of sex partners • (5) preexposure vaccination for those at risk of vaccine-preventable STDs • Prevention: abstinence, reduction of sex partners, male/female condoms • Partner management: encourage notification, evaluate sex partners within 60d, consider patient-delivered tx • Asymptomatic testing: • CT: Sexually active ♀ ≤25yo, older ♀ with risk factors • NG: Sexually active ♀ with increased risk (≤25yo, prior STDs, new/multiple partners, inconsistent condom use, drug use) • HIV: Voluntary, universal, opt-out provision. Also consider when other STDs are found or suspected • RPR, HBV sAg/sAb, HCV Ab

  20. MSM/WSW • Consider additional sx: genital and perianal ulcers, regional LAD, skin rash, anorectal sx • Annual STD screening for MSM: HIV, RPR, urine/rectal/pharyngeal testing for CT/NG depending on history of insertive/receptive anal/receptive oral intercourse in past year, consider anal cytology/HPV screening. Screen q3-6mos if multiple partners or drug use. • All ♀ require routine Pap and STD screening regardless of sexual practices.

  21. Vaccinations • HBV vaccine for all persons evaluated or treated for STDs and for MSM. • HAV vaccine for MSM and illegal-drug users • HPV vaccination in ♀ ≤26yo

  22. A word about sexual assualut • Post exposure prophylaxis (see CDC website for current guidelines)
