A member asked:
Just as the body clears up most cases of low risk hpv infection, does high risk hpv clear at least 90% of all infections?or is high risk hpv clear only a small amount compared to low risk hpv clear?

The subtypes of HPV have different potential effects on normal tissue covering the cervix. The problems with several "high risk types" are transformation to abnormal cells and eventual cancer. Both types can eventually become suppressed by your body's immune system, but if a high risk type is found on a pap smear, immediate treatment is recommended, avoiding cancer risk.
