I need answers and i am very scared and lost...please help...
No study has yet proved whether the virus gets completely eradicated from your body or it stays in your body with dorment state... Currently, this is a matter of conflict among most of the experts & researchers... But, once the infections caused by this virus are clear and there are no signs for 6 months, you are known as non-contagious and cannot spread the virus anymore... As such it is believed that the condition or disease is cured...
"After the virus has "cleared" from you, you are no longer infectious and they can't get the virus from you."
This is not true. HPV is a virus, which never goes away. From my understanding, it sounds like you have high-risk HPV. Ive done hours of research on this because my girlfriend and I have it. Bottom line-it's not as big of a deal as its made out to be. Generally it can take 5-10 years to develop cervical cancer because it is such a slow process in this particular virus. Smoking and taking poor care of your body are factors that can double or triple the rate, but still, yearly checkups with your doctor will prevent anything serious. You can have kids, you can live a normal life. Men almost never experience problems with HPV, it is mostly a virus that effects the cervix. As much as it takes away from the enjoyment, use a condom at all times. You don't want to run the risk of getting other strands--there are over 100 known strands of HPV. I'd be happy to explain this in further detail, or answer any other questions. Hope this helped.

HPV is rarely fatal nor does it often cause many severe complications. It's, for the most part, a nuisance. But you should still ALWAYS follow your doctor's advice and keep up with your pap smears! You can still have babies. Your partner won't die from this (but they still should keep up with their doctor as well, for general reasons). After the virus has "cleared" from you, you are no longer infectious and they can't get the virus from you. Keep up with your doctor's appointments and advice, if you have high risk HPV you should be getting paps every 6 months. If you have warts, you need to get them treated. Following your doctor's advice is always very important. Good luck, and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask them here! Also, please visit the CDC and ASHA website as well as the expert forums here- there are links to them in my blog/journal on here!
