ABSTRACT
From May 1986 to March 1988, there were 3,622 "new" female clients at the Calgary Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Clinic of whom 2,278 registered for the first time. A cervico-vaginal (Pap) smear was obtained from those who had not had one in the previous 6 to 12 months and any history of venereal warts (VW) was recorded. 621 smears were accessed of which 611 were suitable for inclusion in this study. 65 (10.6%) smears revealed human papillomavirus (HPV) and/or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Any history of VW increased the likelihood of an abnormal smear by 5.3 times. Those with currently visible VW were more likely (8.8 times) to have an abnormal smear than those with a past history (3.5 times). These data re-affirm the recommendation of the first "Walton Report" that Pap smears should be obtained in STD Clinics.
