Brief Answer:
Most of the time, the body's immunity clears the HPV virus from the body.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

The cell mediated immune system of the body can fight off up to 90% of HPV infections in two years time. This could be the reason for you not having any signs.

Even if you are infected with HPV virus, the body may not show any signs for up to months or years.

Currently there are no specific tests to check for HPV infection in men. You may consult doctor, who can examine closely to see if you also have tiny warts.

I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
DrRama
