A member asked:

Does the immune system usually get rid of hpv low risk strains?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Primary/long term: Primary clearance usually occurs within 2-3 years for any strain. However, this family of viruses is well known to have the ability to hibernate in your tissues for your lifetime. You can have recurrent warts (if that is your strain) or the cancer associated strains could trigger changes decades later.You may also shed active virus intermittently.
