A member asked:
Does your body eventually kill the genital hpv viruses? how would you know?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: The HPV viruses are members of a viral family that tends to remain forever in the host it infects. Many will develop enough antibody response to clear the initial infection only to have it surface occasionally, shed enough to pass to others or work its damage.Those strains that cause genital warts are easier to monitor during primary or secondary events.Not all have visible recurrances
