Good point David. We know that
HPV-16 takes two years to clear, but in men it takes twice that amount, so it's 4 years. There are some
HPV-16 strains that may be more resistant to treatment, and of different biology, and some even show failure rate after 5 years. I read before that multiple exposures of
HPV increase the risk of
HPV SCCC, so that goes back to your question, how, if there is an antibody after exposure. More
HPV discussion to follow. Where is MD when you need him
