A member asked:
Can you test positive for hpv 15 years later after marriage? both are faithful is this common after this long? also i am vaccinated?

The virus can remain dormant in your body for years and reappear with or without symptoms. Everyone seems to have some strain during their lifetime, that's because there are at least 100 strains. Don't worry, your husband may carry a strain also.

Yes it is possible with a strain not included in the vaccine. Or it may have lain dormant and is active now.
