Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX
I Dr Ramadevi Wani will be answering your concerns today.

Usually after sexual exposure about 65% of them develop infection. It may take 3 weeks to 8 months for clinical warts to appear. The infection may be sub clinical without showing any warts.
Up to 90% of HPV infections are cleared on their own in about two years time.

There is no routine test for men to check for HPV infection.

If you have further queries, I will be happy to answer.
