Hi,
I'm a 29 year old male, straight, HIV-negative male who was diagnosed with HPV of the anus 3.5 years ago. Here are my questions:
1. Typically, how long will it take for the warts to go into remission? I've heard conflicting information from my urologist who said it will be a life-long issue. However, my dermatologist and posts here state that warts typically clear within 5 years? What is your opinion and are there any studies showing that warts clear within 5 years?
2. Again, I've heard conflicting information regarding whether or not HPV anal warts will lead to cancer, specifically prostate cancer. What is your opinion?
3. Lastly, what are your thoughts on the new HPV vaccine's possibly being used as a treatment for infected individuals? As a male could I eventually seek this as a treatment option?
Thanks for your time.
