What age is to old for your immune system to rid genitals wart (hpv) completely out your system ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Age not the issue: HPV is a family of viruses well known for the ability to hibernate in an inactive state for years/decades in the human system.Once you acquire a strain expect to have it forever.The primary infection clears in those with a normal immune system,while many would freeze/laser/poison surface warts to speed removal. Warts rarely reactivate but might & would be more likely if the immune system weakens
