HPV 6 issue
In 2016 July, I was diagnosed HPV 6 positive on both my penile area and rectal, and there are warts on them.
After several physical treatments and Aldara for 7 months, my penile and rectal area are still HPV positive in 2017 May but then my penile area turns HPV negative in 2017 July ( I didnt check my rectal in 2017 July).
Recently I am in a new relationship, so I go to check my HPV status again.
In 2018 April, my penile area is HPV negative but my rectal area is HPV 6 positive.
In fact, from 2017 March until 2018 April, there are no warts around my genital area including anus, because I go checked once in 2017 October. So, warts have already gone for a year, but still my rectal area is HPV+, can anyone convince or explain to me, what is going on now in my case?
To say short, I will state a timeline.
2016 July - Warts on Penile and Rectal, HPV 6 positive (both)
2017 March - No warts on Penile and Rectal
2017 May - HPV 6 positive (both)
2017 July - No warts on Penile and Rectal, HPV 6 negative on Penile (No test for rectal this time)
2017 October - No warts on Penile and Rectal
2018 Apr - No warts on Penile and Rectal, HPV 6 negative on Penile, HPV 6 positive on rectal
From 2016 to 2018, I have no sexual intercourse with anyone and no one touched my anus area, so I guess the positive result on my rectal recently is still the old infections, or else my penile will get positive this time too.
So, can someone give me some advice or explain to me my situation?
As most statistics saying that HPV will go away in 2 years, and it is now 21 months and still my rectal is positive HPV but no warts for a year.

The virus is in your body. You can't be negative after being positive but you can reduce the virus to very low levels and not be infectious. There are places on your body (legs, thighs, scrotum) that may have the virus and you won't know until all of that skin is scraped off and tested. Which no doctor will do. Your best bet is get yourself as healthy as possible and stay celibate until 3 months after the last wart leaves. After the virus enters a body, it can go to any part of the body where there is genital skin. Men have gotten anal warts without ever having anal sex back there. The damn warts appear where they want to. At least this is what doctors said to me!
I dont know if I can have sexual contact with my partner now....as I am still HPV 6 positive at my rectal area, because I dont want to spread the virus to him and yes, I told him the result but he is fine with this.
