The Board found that the veteran does not have a current disability related to his service-connected condylomata acuminata and concluded that there is no link between any current venereal disease, other than condylomata acuminata, and his active military service.
The deciding factor: There was no medical evidence linking the veteran's current venereal disease to his in-service treatment or to his service-connected condition of condylomata acuminata.
