A member asked:

We(me and my wife) have hpv(warts) for 3 month. some doctors say you can continue the sex but if we continue, how can we beat the virus? i don't understand please help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Basics: Once infected with a HPV wart strain they persist/grow until they are cleared by your immune system (~2 yrs) or removed by laser/freezing/chemical agents. If you are both infected with the same strain (of 4 +/- possible) you don't risk passing them back & forth. Once the strain clears it can remain dormant in your body indefinitely, but seldom returns to active/infectious state.
