A member asked:
Does the body usually rid itself of hpv, even the ones that cause genital warts? how long does it take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: They go away 4 a while & return. U should treat while active & avoid sex. Condoms help some but transmitting hpv is quite commonly still an issue. Abstinence i feel is best.
