A member asked:
If low risk hpv first enters my body and then the virus becomes dormant without any symptoms, how many years will it take for the virus to take effect again? (not more than 10 years, right??

Once an HPV virus has gone dormant it may or may not ever re-activate and in males you would likely never know unless it was a wart strain and produced obvious warts.
