Abstract Background Human papillomavirus HPV causes cervical cancer and external genital warts. The purpose of this study is to document the genotype distribution of HPV in females aged between 18 and 34 who self-referred to an STI clinic with visible external genital warts EGW . Scrapings were taken from visible external genital warts EGW . These scrapings were analysed by PCR for the presence of HPV DNA. Positive samples were then genotyped by means of a commercially available assay LiPA . A comparison of genotyping results determined by the LiPA assay and direct amplicon DNA sequencing was also performed. Results Ninety-two patients out of 105 samples 88 had detectable levels of HPV DNA. The majority of individuals with EGW 66 showed the .
