Clear/retained: You do clear the virus from the TRANSFERRABLE stage after the initial infection clears. However, HPV is one of a family of viruses well known to hibernate in the human body for a lifetime. It may or may not re-activate in the future. Those strains associated with cervical cancer become non-transferrable, but even then may trigger cervical cancer years or decades later as a residual effect.
