If some warts caused by hpv are so small you can't see them, how can i be sure they are gone?

You can't: Sorry. Up to 50% of the population is infected with genital hpv. Just make sure you are getting proper screening as well as your partner(s).

Doesn't matter: Once you acquire these you can carry the germ in your tissues indefinitely and pass them to a partner with or without visible lesions. With the help of therapy and your immune system most clear the primary infection within 2 years and don't notice a recurrence, but it can.
