A member asked:
Will i have hpv for life? i am 24 years old with genital warts and a recent lgsil pap smear. will my boyfriend of 6 months get the virus too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not for life: The immune system clears HPV, although it can take up to 2 years. You can assume your BF has already been infected and even might be the source of your infection (you'll never know). Probably he'll never have symptoms, but should keep an eye out for warts. LSIL is mild; you are at low risk for a serious problem. Follow your doc's advice, and also speak with her about HPV vaccination.
