A member asked:
Is the re-occurrence of anal warts 10 years after the last occurrence likely due to the same infection or a new one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either way: Could be new, papilloma virus known to stay dormant for years, possibility of old infection can not be ruled out. Important point is get treated soon.
