If high risk hpv viruses enter the body for the first time, can the virus become dormant before being exposed to the immune response?

In medicine we are taught to never say never, but I would not consider it likely. HPV is cleared and goes dormant when the body has developed enough natural antibody production to keep any active virus from emerging/spreading. It can and does often stay dormant in select tissues away from direct blood flow unless the immune system falters & allows it to emerge.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. Get HPV vaccine rather than wondering about theoretical issues. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
