Hi and thank you for your question. Much remains unknown about HPV transmission when symptoms are not present, so experts cannot fully answer this question. Studies show that in most cases a healthy immune system will be likely to clear, or suppress, HPV eventually. Some cases may persist for years and result in recurrent lesions, butthey normally don't.Most who have genital HPV test negative within a year or two. Many researchers believe subclinical HPV (virus may be in skin cells but no lesions are present) is less likely to be transmitted than when warts are present and believe that the chances of transmitting the virus years after the lesions were present will become increasingly remote over time. HPV has no direct link to fertility. I hope this information helps you, if so, please click accept. Thank you;-)
