With women, it's possible for hpv to leave the body. how about men? is it possible too? can they be cured for good?

Unlikely if ever: Most of any outward signs of an HPV infection will eventually subside in people with a normal immune system.However, this is a family of virus strains that tend to persist in a hibernation like state indefinitely.People may shed the virus intermittantly, but seldom know when they are.
