HPV can take years, even decades before it turns into anything harmful. The percentages are very low of those infected that turn into a serious health condition. For the majority of the population HPV will clear the body before it causes any issues, most never even know they have it. There are no tests at this time. HPV is a very common STD which more is unknown than is known at this time. Click on any of the red HPV's on this thread and read about it. There is quite alot of info on the main OCF pages.
