The latent period of condyloma acuminatum usually has no clinical symptoms, the skin and mucous membranes in this period are normal in appearance, and can be detected as HPV positive by molecular biology methods. The incubation period of an infectious disease is the time from the invasion of the pathogen to the first clinical symptoms, so the incubation period of condyloma acuminatum is conceptually no clinical symptoms, and the skin and mucous membranes are normal in this period. Although there are no clinical symptoms and the white acetate test is negative, the presence of HPV can still be detected by molecular biology methods.
