Depends: Hpv can easily "cured" if treated appropriately. However, the virus may remain in the penile skin although not visible to the eye. These viruses may cause a recurrence of the warts in the future and close monitoring is neccessary. If no visible lesions are present, then one can be considered "cured" but must be monitored for possible recurrence in the future.

question on hpv vaccine- which one for a 33 yr adult virgin female? is it recommended and can there be any side effects at this age ? also what should be the minimum gap between covid vaccine last dose and hpv first dose ?

Accepted Answer

: It hurts more than some vaccines. Otherwise side effects are minimal. The common one in use in the US is Gardasil 9 which helps prevent 7 cancer and 2 wart associated strains.

Insurers in the US don't cover it after age 29.
