percentage of hpv 6/11 that result in warts
Hello,
I've found plenty of information on the net about HPV, and in this forum, but there's one thing I'm still unsure about.
First, a bit about my current knowledge: I understand that approximately 80% of people will be exposed to the HPV STD at some point in there lives, and that approximately 60% of college people have the virus at any one time, and that approximately 95% of people don't show any symptoms. I also understand that 90% of warts are caused by HPV 6 or 11. Lastly, I understand that there's some debate about whether or not the virus remains in a carrier state indefinitely, or whether it is cleared by the immune system after somewhere between 3 months and 2 years; the main school of thought seems to be that the immune system can render the virus non-contagious, assisted by treatment.
However, what I want to know is - what percentage of people who contract HPV 6 or 11 will go on to show wart symptoms? Is the reason that 95% of people don't show symptoms because they don't have HPV 6 or 11? or is it that the majority of people with HPV 6 or 11 don't show symptoms?
Thank you kindly in advance.

Because I wanted to know how common visual warts are.
I don't see the point of this question, percentages. Does this really matter? Would it make you feel better if you were in the majority or the minority? Based on what I've read, the warts appear when your immune system is weak and this may also cause a person to get infected too. A strong immune system prevents more warts from appearing after treatment or prevents them from appearing at all, IMO. That is my focus now.
How do I know this to be true? I don't except based on personal experience. The woman who I believe passed it on to me had no warts that I could see and I weakened my immune system last summer by going on a high booze>crap food>little sleep binge while dating her. The result was one wart for me while she maintained a healthy lifestyle. Since then, I've cut out booze (almost), eat healthy foods like veggies & fruits, get enough sleep on most nights, exercise daily and am taking vitamins galore (A, B complex, C, D, E, Zinc, etc) to boost my immune syndrome. I have managed to lose weight too and shocked my doctor with my current weight. Never smoked cigs so I didn't need to quit. In hindsight, had I not had the 1 wart, I would never know I had this virus. Yes, I would have slept better if ignorant but I can't go back in time and lead a healthy life.

I would also like to know the percentage of people the general population who have strains causing warts as well as the percentage of people who have these strains which show no symptoms.
I'd like to know as well. If 95% of people don't show, then I hate the fact that I'm the 5% -_-
It's such a complex subject, I'm not too sure if anyone will be able to answer unless they are themselves a lab researcher themselves.
What I don't get is, if it's still a debate about clearing or not, then how can they announce on the CDC website that it clears and it's nothing to worry about. I want to find the study they did.
