If you have HPV, you’re probably wondering: Does HPV go away? And if so, how long does it take for HPV to go away, exactly? Both are valid questions. And the good news is the answers are: usually and it depends.
Here’s the deal: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States; around 79 million Americans currently have HPV, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
HPV has a pretty terrifying reputation because it can cause genital warts, cervical cancer, and cancers that affect the throat, mouth, and other parts of the body. But if you find out you have HPV, there’s one good thing to bear in mind:
It usually goes away all on its own without ever causing any health problems.
“The vast majority of people with HPV get rid of the virus naturally,” board-certified ob/gyn Antonio Pizarro, M.D., tells SELF. “It is not lethal unless it causes untreated cancer, and it’s very likely to simply go away on its own.” Feel free to pat yourself on the back, because your body can do incredible things.
