A member asked:
If hpv is possitive for two couple can the immune system clear it of or it makes it harder because they are sharing hpv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Individual issue: This germ does not bounce back and forth like a strep throat might.You get it, you clear it in a couple years and it can hibernate or recur later.Couples usually share the same strain but their response is similar if their immune system is normal.Once they have had it they will not be "re-infected" if the other is shedding virus because they become immune.
