I admit it-I'm a man-using a woman's website for help. REcently I learned I have HPV. I have heard that often but not always the body on its own destroys the virus within 2 to 3 years. How would I, a man, know if the virus is gone? I get no pap smears. Is there a blood test? Second are there substances I can take to hasten the demise of the virus. I would be grateful for answers to these questions. thanx D
