Isn't that technically true of most viruses in general, though? I remember learning as a kid that you will always have every virus you've ever had in your life floating around in your body: colds, influenza, etc. because there is no cure for a virus. This was around the time we learned that there is no cure for the common cold (we were all shocked that day lol) and that you could still be contagious even if your symptoms were gone. BUT on that same note, you would eventually get to a point where your body gets the virus under control and would no longer be contagious. Hence, why you needed to drink lots of fluid and get plenty of rest and all those other good things you do to help your body fight the bug. I've seen HPV described as the "common cold" of STI's and, put in that perspective, that actually made a lot of sense to me.
