A member asked:
How long does it take reactivated hpv to clear? wife tested + on last two yearly paps so she has had it for about 16months. her next pap is due soon which would make it 28months since first + could chance it will be gone? paps are normal otherwise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By UPTODATE: Most HPV infections, including those with carcinogenic HPV genotypes, typically resolve within 12 months. Carcinogenic HPV infections that PERSIST BEYOND 12 months (as your wife is) increase the likelihood of precancerous or cancerous lesions, although not all persistent infections progress.
