How do u know hpv is gone.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

DNA probe: Most doctors when they do pap smears they are collecting cells from your cervix, while at the same time, also testing for the most serious, cancer causing types of hpv. It's a 2 part test, the pap smear is, nowadays. Thus when you hpv comes back negative, you know your immune system has suppressed the virus. Once + for hpv, can always come back, but typically doesn't.
