Can HPV be cleared?

Question

"Traditional theories postulated that the virus remained in the body for a lifetime. However, new studies using sensitive DNA techniques have shown that through immunological response the virus can either be cleared or suppressed to levels below what PCR tests can measure. [2] According to the Center for Disease Control's report on HPV to Congress in 2004, studies have shown that 70% of new HPV infections clear within one year, and as many as 91% clear within two years. The median duration of new infections is typically eight months. The gradual development of an effective immune response is thought to be the likely mechanism for HPV DNA clearance. The state of the immune system determines the chances of removing the virus entirely and can be affected by factors such as HIV infection, certain medications, stress, or illness.[3] There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body's immune response"

Good Luck !

Answer 2

First of all Wikipedia is not a medical journal.  Sometimes things are posted on the website that are untrue.  However, it did state that the virus can either be cleared or suppressed.  If it's suppressed its not gone and the factors you stated above could bring it back.  In some ways I think this article may give false hope to those with the virus and cause them not to get the medical treatment they need.

Just my take on it.
