| Abstract: | The human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viral sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. External genital warts (EGWs) are a commonly seen clinical manifestation of infection with certain strains of the HPV virus, particularly HPV types 6 and 11. Current treatments for the destruction and elimination of EGWs include in -office, provider -delivered therapy and patient -applied medications. Sinecatechins ointment 15% is the newest FDA -approved patient -applied treatment for EGWs. This article reviews the transmission and clinical presentation of EGWs, describes the use of sinecatechins ointment 15% as one patient -applied treatment option and discusses implications for nurses. |
