Not so: While cryotherapy will help to get rid of a specific lesion, it won't cure you of the virus. I assume you are talking about genital warts. You can get other warts in the future. Always protect yourself.

HPV: If you refer to Human Papilloma Virus, you can get any treatment, you can eliminate warts, but the virus is gonna stay. There are no cure, only control for the disease. There are a lot of changes that the warts are gonna return (maybe 40-60%), you can use Imiquimod for 3 days a week for six weeks only on the site where the lesiones where, to reduce recurrence risk. You should see an urologist

SAFE SEX: If you had cryosurgery an specific lesion will disappear , but you are not cured from the virus infection. ALWAYS practice safe sex, and get a VPH vaccine.
