Will the HPV in my body ever go away?


I have the HPV I the genital warts kind, I havent had anything down there in 3 years since i had them taken care of with acid i dont have insurance right now t go to the Docs office.. my bf knows i have it so thats out of the way.. i just want to know if I will ever be able to have unprotected sex with him (he has the other kind of HPV he dosent get warts on his genitals just every where else) my doc told me that the virus will eventually go away by itself but i dont know how much i believe that cause when i was diagnosed by my first Doc i was told i would have it forever please someone Heelppp

I have never had Unprotected sex with my BF cause I do not want him to get it.

This is from the Center for Disease control website:

There is no "cure" for HPV infection, although in most women the infection goes away on its own. The treatments provided are directed to the changes in the skin or mucous membrane caused by HPV infection, such as warts and pre-cancerous changes in the cervix.

EDIT: I have had it in the past (Before Marriage) and also have had unprotected sex with my husband for the past 11 years and also given birth and neither of them got it.

I got this according to the CDC website

Will I have HPV forever?
In most women, HPV goes away within two years. We do not know why it lasts longer in some women than others.

If HPV goes away, can I get it again?
If you have one type of HPV that goes away, you may not get that type again. But you still can get a different type. Remember, there are about 40 types of HPV that can infect the genital area.

Hello,
HPV will eventually go away on it's own. Since it is a virus, it's VERY stubborn. Keep in mind that HPV can cause cervical cancer as well.

well as far as i know u will have it forever cause it is in ur blood and body foreva. i did not know that there is more than one type. cryotherapy is the only way to get rid of them for good (visibly anywayz) ur guy is prob. making ur outbreaks come back since he has a more severe case u know. so the answer is no protection is ur only way of keeping the warts away!

yes, it will go away.

i dont think there is a cure

no it will stay with u until u die

There can be some misunderstanding when it comes to terminology on this topic. The HPV virus will never go away and with that being said there is always the possibility of infecting others. What the doctor may have been trying to tell you when he said it would "go away" may be that you will stop having new warts appear but that the virus will still remain in your body.
