Accepted Answer

It can't be cured: But most of the time, it goes away on its own. In fact, in young women, almost all of the hpv infections clear up with no treatment. The problem is that not all of them clear up, and those that don't can go on to cervical cancer which is very serious.

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.

what's the expert opinion, could there ever be an hpv cure?

Accepted Answer

Maybe not: Hpv is a virus which has more than 100 subtypes. Thirteen of these are associated with development of cervical dysplasia which may lead to cervical cancer. Viruses adapt well to attack by treating medicines. Many times, once a treatment works, viruses will change just enough to avoid being "killed" by the treatment provided. Flu viruses are similar so that flu vaccines are different every year.

Unlikely if ever: Most of any outward signs of an HPV infection will eventually subside in people with a normal immune system.However, this is a family of virus strains that tend to persist in a hibernation like state indefinitely.People may shed the virus intermittantly, but seldom know when they are.
