yes they can but the virus is still in your body so you must try your best to keep your immune system in its best shape. According to cdc.gov and dr. hunter h. handsfield answer on medhelp as well as wikipedia, most HPV infections will be cleared up eventually by our own immune system.

Based on DNA PCR tests (that aren't available commercially, only for scientific journal purposes) most people who had HPV will have a negative test 2 years afterward. When i say most, they are 90% though, so the 10% will need 3-5 years or even more. Several people, like 1% or less, can't cure their HPV even after 10 years. Usually this is the type of people who gets Cervical cancer from specific HPV strains (but keep in mind cervical cancer HPV strain and genital wart HPV strain aren't the same)

So what you can do is to treat the genital wart every time they recur but one day they will stop recurring. If you have been 6-8 months wart-free then you will be no longer contagious.

They can go away with treatment; but the virus is always in the body and can come back at any time.
