A member asked:
Is the decrease in immunity with age sufficient to reactivate the high risk hpv virus that has become dormant?

Thought to happen in some. Everyone is different. I would discuss with your Dr. who can answer this question about those like you who live in Singapore.

Decrease in immunity with age is relative and not linear. So age alone is not a factor in reactivation.
