Could Anus Warts Not Developing Mean The Absence Of HPV Infection?

I don't know if I have HPV anymore. I got it when I was 16. I am now 19. I had visible warts on my anus one year after having sex for the first time (I have only had sex with one person my entire life). I got these visible warts right when i caught a cold (was 17 years old). Now I am 19 and I just got over my cold, but I did not develop any warts. Would it be safe to say that my immune system has fought it off?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
HPV is a sexually transmissible infection that may not have any drugs to take care of but in most cases, healing can be spontaneous. All you need is to have a healthy lifestyle, eat well and balanced and avoid other infections or things that can weaken the immune system.When the immune system is strong enough, it may hardly manifest and you may get spontaneous healing.The absence of Warts however, does not mean the infection has gone away.I will suggest you take the test again and do a colposcopy to eliminate any precancerous cervical lesion.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
