I've been curious about this for the last several days after reading certain entries in our group. From what I've read on informational sites, your body can get rid of it in a year or 2 -- of course with good health, low stress, etc. But, after reading some entires in this community, there are people who've had it for many years. Sorry for my ignorance, as I'm still learning, but why is that? I know each of our bodies are different, but I'm just wondering...

No ignorance here ...great question for discussion..
As you said, it does depend on your own body, immune system, if there are other STIs present with HPV it is difficult to rid. It also depends on the kind you have and what treatments are taken and how quickly they are met. Also, smoking, having unprotected sex, not knowing one's sexual history etc...all contribute to the virus not leaving.

Yes, I have ... and get checked every 6 months. Put the word out ... 23% of positive HPV tests during a PAP are FALSE. DO not give up hope hon! Jewelee

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
