HPV infection: At a young age, HPV infection now is common, and most infections are transient, resolving spontaneously. The key concern for cancer and other less serious lesions (warts, etc.) are the ones that persist over time. However, if your situation socially is producing continued exposure, and theefore potential infection, with new or repeated strains, the risk continues to go up.

Yes and no: The primary infection will usually clear in those with a normal immune system within 2 years. However, the HPV family of virus strains is well known for hibernating in your system for decades. The cancers associated with many strains are not part of the initial infection but may show up years or decades later.Knowing you have had it can motivate you to have you pap smears done on schedule.
