A member asked:

Can hpv go away after you taken a hpv vaccine.

No. : If you are already infected with the human papilloma virus, getting the vaccine cannot cure the infection. It may prevent other strains of infection, however. This is why it is so important for kids to get vaccinated well before there is any chance of them getting hpv infection .

Maybe. Maybe not.: HPV infection is common (transmitted by people having sex, especially by having more than one partner). Some HPV infections go away on their own. Some don't go away, and can cause cancer years later. That means some infections will go away, before or after getting the vaccine, because the vaccine itself is not what makes some infections go away. Vaccination prevents the more dangerous HPV strains.
