Can you test positive and then negative for HPV?

One of the teens in my youth group asked me this question and I can't answer it. Apparently, she tested positive for HPV, several strains including those that are high risk for cervical cancer. Several months to one year later, she was retested and the test was negative. She asked it that means she no longer has the virus or was the initial test inaccurate. I don't know and could use some guidance.

So, does HPV go away? Antibodies and/or transfer factor may be built during the immune process. These immune factors remain in the body the rest of the person鈥檚 life for any particular strain they have in the body at the time they take an immune modulator. Once immunity is accomplished you will then test negative for HPV and would not test positive again unless exposed to a new strain of HPV. The natural remedy treatment lengths are generally for an initial 90 days and should be taken as directed with an oral dosage and treatment directly to the skin tissue affected. Some natural remedies are as effective as traditional medical treatments and surgeries.

Does HPV go away? In some ways 鈥淵es鈥?because there will be antibodies for any strains you have built immunity to still present in the body. Once those antibodies are in place those strains are no longer able to develop symptoms and a person is not contagious any longer, unless there should be a major failure of the immune system such as AIDS. Does HPV go away? In some ways 鈥淣o鈥?because you could be exposed to a different type or strain of HPV for which you do not have immunity.

* I must add that not all people develop immunity however; some people continue to have warts outbreaks/develop cancer their whole life. There is a chance though that yes, your body can eliminate that strand you have. Just get tested every once in a while.

the hpv virus can go away on its own. your body can fight it. sadly, my body is not fighting my hpv thats causing cervical cancer.

they told me to go back in a year to see if it was gone...i went back and it got worse. they told me that i could try to eat more healthy and that might help and quit smoking.

to test for cervical cancer they give you a HPV DNA test and it is 99% accurate. HPV CAN go away on its own.

I once tested positive ta da herpes but i was all like no way I gots dat ****. Rhianndy musta spread dat shits to me and I beat dat *** fo it too. But den it turns out it be lasinda not rianndy and i felt bad. Dat bitcch lasinda got hers in da end and nows I just pretend I don't have herps.

I keep hearing that there are a lot of false positive test results for HPV and Cervical Cancer.

No way. ALL STDS are permanent

there could have been a false positve (inacurate reading the first time)
