Determining whether you no longer have HPV (human papillomavirus) typically involves follow-up testing. For many people, the immune system clears the virus naturally over time, often within two years. Regular screenings, such as Pap tests for women, can help detect any abnormal cell changes caused by HPV, and negative results may indicate that the virus is no longer present. However, since some HPV strains can remain dormant, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and testing.
