A member asked:
I have two genital warts. i've been using aldara (imiquimod). is it true that once the genitals are clear for 6 months that most of the virus has gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes most of the time: Once exophytic growth is gone most of the tome virus is gone ( unlike herpes where the virus stays for ever ) but some times may stay dormant on the body.
