A member asked:

Is it normal for people to have genital warts and the body never clears it on their own and have them forever or does the body usually get rid of them around 2 years?

You keep asking question after question about HPV. This has been answered previously. The immune system usually clears visible HPV by 2 years, viral DNA can persist for life. You're over worried and overreacting. Everybody gets HPV, often for life. The large majority of infections never cause any health problem. Your HPV situation is just like all your family and friends. Try to let it go!
