New Insights into the Role of Human Papillomavirus in Anal Cancer and Anal Wart Development

“…The highly active retroviral therapy (HAART) does not seem to lower the risk of developing anogenital warts, although those with higher CD4 cell counts and lower HIV RNA levels had a lower risk of developing anogenital warts [13]. …”
