Most HPV cases will clear up on their own within a few months, and about 90% will resolve within 2 years.<br \/>\nAdults of reproductive age are at the highest risk of getting HPV infections. While many types of HPV are harmless, there are many high risk types that can cause certain cancers in women, such as those that may persist and progress into cervical cancer.<\/p>\n<style>.mh-paragraph--7d9aa389eb69a8db4521e38abb9c3962 {--mh-paragraph-font-size--l: 1.3125rem;}<\/style><style>.mh-paragraph--7d9aa389eb69a8db4521e38abb9c3962
