Having been in a monogamous relationship for 4+ years, how likely is it to have had hpv all this time and just now be showing symptoms?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It is: possible that people can have HPV without knowing for a long time. Sometimes discovered only when HPV is ordered with pap smear

Easy: Males can acquire HPV , including the wart strains and not have any physical findings for years if ever.The HPV family of strains are well known for their ability to hibernate in the body for years and reactivate .In tthe pre-vaccine era, as many as 70% of college women were HPV positive in some studies, with no symptoms.
