A member asked:
Is it possible to completely rid your body of hpv if you already have the virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not yet: HPV is very common, said to infect up to 92% of people worldwide. There is nothing that will eradicate the virus. However, most strains are not considered harmful. There are strains associated with the development of cancers and there are tests to determine if patients are carrying those high risk viruses.
