I'm crossing my fingers then 'cause I'm at 13 months now!  I'm hoping to M-er F-in' God I just took my last trip to the Derm.  Here's to wishing us all luck!

Yes, that table came from the article. For wart causing strains, none of the infections were still present at 24 months, out of 126 participants. The average time for clearance was 8.4 months and 8.1 months for HPV-6 and HPV-11, respectively. For high-risk strains, the average time for clearance was 13.9 months for HPV-16 and 14.9 months for HPV-18.

Thanks tdog88.  It's pretty informative... after I put redownloaded my collegiate scholarly paper reading skills from the depth of my brain.  Looks like three years is the max for a few strains if I read it correctly.  I believe someone else posted a table from the same or similar study just the other day.  This stuff is good to know.  Cheers
