HPV : Hpv may lie dormant for an extended period of time, and you may never experience an outbreak of 'abnormal' cells. Nonetheless, you will always be a carrier of hpv. If your immune system weakens for any reason, this could cause your hpv count to rise. Observe a healthy lifestyle and get pap smears regularly.

No: Your body has very likely cleared your hpv infection. Over 90% of people are virus free in less than 3 years just by their own immune system action.
