Genital Warts & latency period of HPV Posted: 03-27-08 23:16pm
Could someone please give me the answer to
how long the latency period is between
contracting the HPV strain that causes GW,
and that actual appearance of the warts?
I have been with my husband for 12 years
and, after being diagnosed with GW last
week, I am questioning whether he may have
inadvertently "given" this to me. I
cannot find anything specific in my
extensive internet research, other than
that HPV can remain dormant for "months
and even years" before an symptoms/warts
appear. Please help me find the answer to
this question! Thanks in advance.

If the internet doesn't have anything more
accurate than "months or years" then
unfortunately, there's nothing else to
say. It's completely possible he had HPV
before you got married.
