Years: An hpv infection that lingers around for years puts a woman at risk of developing cervical cancer, particularly if she is over the age of 30.

Months to years: Once an hpv invades a cell, active infections occur, and the virus can be transmitted. Several months to years pass before squamous intraepithelial lesions (sil) develop and can be clinically detected.
