Venereal warts are warts which occur in the genital or anal region of the male or female.
Many carriers are asymptomatic and unaware that they have the virus or any warts at all. It is estimated that there are 500,000 to 1 million new cases of venereal warts each year in the United States. At other times, diagnosing venereal warts can be difficult. Sometimes the warts can not be seen without the help of magnification. The acetic acid stains the venereal warts and causes them to become more visible.
