A member asked:

I think i have an hpv virus, and if i do is it curable, but i also think its ingrown hairs because i've only had sex 12 times same person 2 years ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably ingrown.: Would be unusual for warts to appear this late after exposure. Most women who contract hpv clear it by the two year mark.
