"There is no cure for human papillomavirus. Once you're infected with the virus, you have it for your entire lifetime. The most common lesions found in association with human papillomavirus are genital warts, which appear on the external surfaces of the genitalia, oral orifice or anal orifice, and the presence in mid-life in women of cervical cancer. It has been found that the HPV virus is responsible for the development of cervical cancer in women, and appears in the mid-thirties to forties. However, they were actually infected in their teen years when they were experimenting with sex. That's why it's very important for young women to get the vaccine for the HPV virus at an early age. It can be offered as early as age eight and is offered up through age 26. After that, it's assumed you're either infected or not, and hopefully, you are into a monogamous relationship at that time. But there is no cure for HPV, only treatment of symptoms."
