If by HPV you mean the virus which causes genital worts, also know as condylomas, the answer is actually nothing.
Once infected with HPV you are generally infected for the rest of your life. A great percentage of the normal adult population is actually infected without knowing it.
Only some of the infected have symptoms of the infection - genital warts.
If a person is so unlucky as to contract the infection, he / she could usually expect symptoms to appear within 1-3 months. Some patients earlier and some later.
Once genital warts have appeared there are several approaches to dealing with them.
Depending on severity and location of the outbreak, the doctor might choose:
- treatment with cytotoxic gele, designed to kill cells infected with the virus
- laser treatment
- surgical treatment
However, it should be noted that many of the warts disappear on their own after a longer period of time. Some patients choose to ignore the warts, as they are mainly annoying to the eye, and not dangerous per say.
Women infected with HPV should be aware of the close relation of HPV-infection to cancer in the uterus.
Also, a vaccine has been developed for some of the most common strains of HPV.
This should be given before any first sexual encounter to have maximal effect.
