A member asked:
How many strains of hpv including high risk strains can you have at the same time, dormant or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably many: Some viral strains are more alike in an immunological way, meaning your antibodies to one might give you protection against another. Each person can end up with a collection of strains that he does not have good immunity against, but get rid of strains he has good immunity against. The more worrisome strains are ones that most humans tend to have difficulty getting rid of. So, be vaccinated.
