Summary

This study looked at whether giving the HPV vaccine to women with large genital warts before surgery can help prevent the warts from returning. It included 52 women, some with HIV. The goal was to see if the vaccine boosts the immune system to fight the virus better. Results may help improve treatment for hard-to-treat warts.
