Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

Genital warts are caused by Human Papilloma Virus.
There is no cure for HPV. Existing treatments are focused on the removal of visible warts. There is no evidence to suggest that removing visible warts reduces transmission of the underlying HPV infection.However, 80% of people with HPV will clear the infection within 18 months and you are free of HPV infection now.You can undergo PCR testing from genital skin to confirm if the virus has gone.
