Do not agree with Drifter's one-size-fits-all answer. Some women get warts and some women do not get cancer. For him to suggest that only men gets warts is beyong crazy.
People need 6-24 months after clearance of symptoms to not be infectious. No one (not even Drifter) knows if the virus is dormant in your body or leaves for good. Assume it is always in your DNA and live a healthy life to boost your immune system.
hpv in men takes 24 months to clear longer for women, men get warts women get cancer :)
