A member asked:
Once the hpv virus cleared up by the immune system will be only dormant? after years or so if the immunity compromised the virus will be active again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dormant: HPV comes from a family of viruses that can remain dormant in your system for your lifetime. It can possibly re-activate, and you can shed virus without knowing it. However, for most this is just a possibility, not an expected outcome.
