Condylomata acuminata is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease caused by some sub-types of human papillomavirus (HPV). It is spread through direct skin-to-skin contact during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. Genital warts are the most easily recognized symptom of genital HPV infection, where types 6 and 11 are responsible for 90% of all cases. Whilst of those infected with genital HPV it is estimated that only a small percentage (between 1% and 5%) develop symptoms, those infected can still transmit the virus.
