I got genital warts about 3 yrs ago, and was treated for it sucessfully, so it has gone away.
Is it possible to get it back, even though i havent had sex for 18 months?
Does it ever go away, or is it one of those things that never go away?
Answer:
Genital warts can be treated in a massive number of ways. the problem is that there’s currently no known cure for HPV which is the virus that causes genital warts.
That being said, even after treating genital warts, The Hpv virus might still be in your body and thus there is a possiblility of having future outbreaks.
The good news is that, after a while, your immune system will tackle the virus and get you rid of it. In the worst cases, a person can suffer new outbreaks of genital warts over a period of five years, but doctors state that the cycle of outbreaks can't go on forever.
Answer:
No, unfortunately genital warts don’t go away even after treatment, but I’m sure the treatment can keep the viral infection dormant for a good enough time. As far as Gardasil shot, as the person mention above, they don’t give the shot to women who already have the virus in their system unfortunately. But atleast you’ve the viral infection under control with the proper treatment, and doing all you can to protect yourself and others.
Get tested, continue your yearly pap smears, and protect yourself and others using condoms.
Answer:
MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW what they are speaking about except New Mommy and the other one Peak P. They dont know if the hpv virus goes away totally or if it is dormant. They’re finding that hpv does clear from the body after a while of being wart free. Anyone that tells you different is a liar and uneducated on the subject. You get a cold but not for the rest of your life your immune system kicks its butt and thats what they are finding with hpv as well. Even the cdc backs me up on this one. The other people have nothing to back them up. Saying this go have sex be safe. Its your chose to tell of your past warts ….but it is better to be open and honest. One more thing people usually get hpv confused with herpes. Herpes is a for life std hpv isn’t. Its like apples and oranges.
Answer:
Viral STDs can not be cured. Genital warts may come back at any opportunistic moment.
You can try HPV vaccine, Gardasil for other types of HPV.(16, 18, 6, and 11)
Periodical Pap test is necessary for Cervical cancer.(for ladies only)
Answer:
genital warts does go away it just might take a while. Your body eventually builds an immunity towards it fighting off the HPV virus. You should go to your ob/gyn and get it checked and see if you still have it.
Answer:

Answer:
I'm afraid Genital Warts never completly go away even after the treatment.
The treatment remove the warts but not the HPV virus so they have the ability to recur after treatment.
Answer:
It never really goes away. The virus is always with you. Can be dormant for years but could rear its unsightly head again one day.
