The study will be a prospective study of patients presenting with anogenital warts. The
 objective are to assess proportion of anogenital warts to the total number of sexual

 Hospital, and Bangrak Hospital. One hundred and fifty subjects will be enrolled from both
 hospitals. Anogenital wart patients presented in Rajavithi General Hospital and the STI
 clinic at Bangrak Hospital will be recruited prospectively. All patients will be treated
 according to standard medical guidelines or usual care of the institutes. After the baseline
 assessment, the patients will have follow up visits with their physicians and will also be
 interviewed at the clinical sites three time approximately at day 7 (-2+7 days), month 1 (+-7
 days), and month 6 (+-7 days) until they are cure. At month 6 (+-14 days), telephone
 assessment for the capture of any signs of disease recurrence will be done. All patients will
