Does hpv stay in your sustem forever?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not usually: Your body's immune system will usually clear an hpv infection. When hpv is found to linger around, it can lead to cancer of the cervix, vagina, vulva, anus, and throat. That is why it is important to get regular follow up of hpv related problems.
