A member asked:

Can more than one strain of hpv be dormant and show up after a cone biopsy?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes,: as well as recurrence of the original strain. No treatment gets rid of the virus completely. Cone biopsy strives to remove/reset the cells affected. But recurrence can be in the new cells. Vaccine and immune system improvements can help, but the virus is never fully gone.

Agree with Dr. B: It is still important for you to get HPV vaccine to prevent infection with other harmful strains. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
