A member asked:
Are the high risk types of hpv more persistent than low risk types? what's the average length of an infection from when first infected to clearance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High risk longer: Yes, high risk types typically take longer to clear than low risk HPV types. The exact time isn't well known, but some studies suggest that high risk HPV of the cervix usually is cleared over 6-24 months.
