How long does it take for HPV warts to show up after contact?
Two of my friends had sex, and he complains he got the HPV wart the day after he had intercourse with her. He had slept with another girl a week and a half before, and she has never had any symptoms. How long does it take for this to show up on a male? And does it go away ?
Hi, HPV can be present in the body for months or even years before any signs (warts) show up. He may have been carrying the virus and never have known it. In most cases it takes a few months for them to show up and there are several ways of treating them. It’s not known for sure if it ever goes away or just lays dormant in the body. But it is believed that the body will eventually fight off the virus in about two years. The warts can take weeks or up to a year to go away. You should tell your friend to look it up on webmd.com they would have some info on it and most importantly to go see his doctor. Hope this helps.
Warts don’t show up the day after your exposed to them, they can take months to years to show up. Also, a wart does not develop in a days time, they take time to develop.
