Popis: The prevalence of genital warts (GW) and self-reported human papillomavirus (HPV) as well as disease-related psychosocial impact among male and female patients aged 18-60 years in India were assessed. GW prevalence was estimated using a 2-week daily log of patients examined from June 7-September 22, 2011 by 200 participating physicians in 6 regions of India. Psychosocial impact was estimated using one-time, self-administered surveys, including HPV Impact Profile (HIP), Cuestionario Especifico para Condiloma Acuminado ([Spanish] CECA; "Specific questionnaire for Condylomata Acuminata") and EuroQol-5 Dimension survey. T-tests or Mann-Whitney U-tests were used for continuous comparisons and Chi-square or Fisher exact tests were applied for categorical comparisons. Overall GW prevalence in India was estimated at 1.07% (95% confidence interval = 0.97-1.17) and was higher among men than women. Regional prevalence ranged from high in Delhi (2.17%) to low in Bangalore (0.40%). Patients aged 25-29 years had the highest GW prevalence (1.42%). GW patients were most often newly diagnosed (74.07%). Among those with existing GW, 56.24% were recurrent, and 43.76% were resistant. According to total HIP scores, 55.4% of male GW patients and 20.0% of those without GW reported moderate psychological impact (p
