How Long Can HPV Virus Stay In The Body?

My husband of 40yrs came down with genital warts. I know that I am the only partner he has been with. I believe he got it from me. How long can HVP stay in the body? It was more then 7yrs ago. My husband and I worked through it at the time, but I never had any systems. My peps have always come back normal. I have recently gone through chemo for breast cancer. A/C and taxol for 25weeks. Towards the end of chemo I was having blood in my urine which I was treated for with antibiotics. I have had a bladder infection off and on for the last 6mos. I never had a bladder infection till chemo. Is it possible that chemo can bring on genital warts? Chemo tired

Hello,

The HPV virus can stay in the body for years, in more cases our body fight against this virus and produce antibodies which can clear the virus within a couple of months.

Most of its strains can go without getting any treatment. Yes, less commonly you can have warts, moles or raised lesions over body with chemotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
