Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are one the most common infections in the world. Among them, anogenital warts and gonorrhea infections are a significant group of STIs. We conducted this research to evaluate the prevalence of anogenital warts and gonorrhea infection and their related aspects in Iran. Still, it has a lot to know about its prevalence, trends, and risk factors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1064 patients voluntarily referred from a marriage counseling center to the  physicians in our center to evaluate STIs were enrolled in this study. All participants completed a data collection form about their sex, age, lifetime number of sexual partners, high-risk behaviors, and history of prior gonorrhea infection. They were also evaluated for anogenital warts by physical examination. The data were analyzed by SPSS 24 with Chi-square test, independent t-test, and logistic regression analysis. P-value Results: The number of participants with current anogenital warts was 9.2% (11.9% in men and 3.5% in women). 1.1% of the participants had a documented prior gonorrhea infection, and all of these cases were men. After logistic regression analysis, there was a significant relationship between anogenital warts and gonorrhea infection and male gender (P=0.03). Also, there was a meaningful relationship between these diseases and the higher number of lifetime sexual partners (P=0.001). Conclusions: Male sex and having more lifetime sexual partners are the risk factors for getting anogenital warts and gonorrhea infection.
