Hi,
Those are very good questions. According to the CDC, there are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of males and females. In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears HPV naturally within two years. in cases when the body does not fight off HPV, HPV can cause visible changes in the form of genital warts, which can appear within weeks or months after sexual contact with an infected person. It is also possible to get more than one type of HPV. It is common for genital warts to recur after treatment, especially in the first 3 months after treatment. You can still pass the virus on to sex partners, even after the warts are treated. It is not known how long a person remains contagious after warts are treated. There is no cure for the virus. There are no available test to check a person's overall HPV status.
