A member asked:
If you had genital warts and it goes away does it completely clear your system or is it still there? also is likely to have just one itty bitty wart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately, no: No guarantee that warts are gone for good when all visible warts clear. Virus can be dormant.
