A member asked:
Can genital warts appear for the first time 5 years after contracting hpv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: They can be format in your body for a very long time. If you are young your body might clear the infection without you knowing you have it. If it does not clear, the warts can appear at any time, many years later. It is often a problem on a faithful marriage if the infection was caught beforehand
