Question 3

is it rare for the body not to fight off hpv and warts never go away on their own? is it common for them to last more than 2 years?

Accepted Answer

: Different from flus or other systemic viruses that enter your blood, HPV strains are surface dwellers. They enter and grow in superficial skin layers with minimal exposure to the bodies immune surveillance system. Most clear in 2 years. I am aware of people who have had HPV wart strains that persisted for decades. You can have them frozen/acid killed or lasered off.

Question 4

does oral hpv that causes warts go away on its own? are oral warts even common?  i'm 21 and i have head to my bf. scared he may not be clean.

Accepted Answer

HPV: Don't worry, you will be fine. You are describing the human condition. We are exposed to pathogens on a daily basis, including during sexual activity. HPV is the most commonly spread STD in the US but only certain strains cause cancer and our immune system can handle many of them. Get screened by your dentist/MD and get your PAP by your OB/GYN, your age indicates its time. Stay calm.

how long does it take for hpv warts to show up after initial contact?

Accepted Answer

Few weeks: It can vary until they are visible .They could appear in a few weeks or even several months after contact.

Question 6

does hpv (warts) turn into cancer? and does it go away and in how long?

Accepted Answer

HPV and cancer: There are many different types of hpv.  Some of them are high risk for cancer and some are low risk.  If a person has hpv, viral typing can be done to determine where the risk lies.  As to how long it takes to develop cancer from a high risk hpv infection, it is not known.  Women with hpv infection usually have pap smears done every 6 months to monitor for any cervical cell changes.

Question 7

how to know if a man has hpv when no symptoms show? and if symptoms (warts) show, how to make them go away? what to apply? cream, ointment?? for men

Accepted Answer

You Can't: Know if he has HPV unless he tells you or you see active lesions and various forms of HPV have different types of lesions in different areas of the bodies when active. Other times, someone with HPV (and most people have some form of it) is dormant and may never be an issue. Most lesions need to be removed by a clinician though some can be cleared with creams or ointments.

Question 8

follow up. if i am hpv vaccinated and husband had hpv with warts. is he contagious forever and we just let them go away on their own? will i always be protected and show up negative during my annual?

Accepted Answer

: Duplicate question; see previous reply. Your vaccine provides lifelong protection no matter how many exposures you have. You can expect your annual Pap smears to remain negative.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Varies: If you are lucky they will respond immediately to simple topical treatments.  They can persist for months even with treatment and occasionally will recur after apparently successful treatment.

Accepted Answer

See below: The average incubation period starting with the sexual contact with an infected person is 2-3 months but can range from 1 to 20 months.The virus invades the top layers of the skin and can remain inactive for months and sometimes years before warts appear.Hopefully the girl you had sex with did not have HPV.
