Good question. It was thought that immunity against HPV prevented new infections with the same virus type for a long time, perhaps for life. More recently, new infections with the same type are known to occur -- although it is often difficult to distinguish new infection from reactivation of an old one. Certainly long delayed reactivation sometimes occurs, but as late as 30 yr may be rare.
