Not much you can do: Warts and pap abnormalities can be treated to speed clearance. Even without treatment, almost all HPV infections are cleared by the immune system, although it can take several months or up to a couple of years. (HPV DNA may persist longer, but not active infection.) Smoking may delay clearance. Staying generally healthy and not smoking may help, but otherwise nothing is known to help very much.
