A member asked:
If hpv is currently negative after being positive a few months before can it still be latent in the body?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes. Some experts believe all HPV infections are permanent. But if it cannot be detected by DNA testing, the likelihood of future health problems or transmission to partners are low.

Probably not. Nothing is 100% in medicine
