Outbreaks

Hey everyone. I was just reading something that someone posted. I have a question. Is that really ture that if you don't have an outbreak in 1 to 2 years your probably clear of the virus? Is there anyone out there that didn't have an outbreak in 1-2 and is clear of it? I can't find anything that says how long this can last? When you have an outbreak, even though you are using your treatment, you still get more. What I really want to know is how long does an outbreak usually last?

I had read that. And my doctor
mentioned it. It's important though to
do your own research and base your
opinions on your findings. Just as many
docs say this is true as say that it's
not. How long an outbreak lasts
depends entirely on the person. Mine
was in treatment for 3 or 4 months.
And i'ts been silent for a couple of
years. You really have to stay as
healthy as possible. Hope this
helps :) good luck.

It took me about 2 months to heal, and
I haven't had another outbreak since
that (last summer). I don't know if
your immune system can get rid of it
that quickly; I'd think not.

But it's sooo hard to stay healthy. I
have so many bad habits, it's tough!

Well do your best. Frankly the threat
of warts growing on my vagina are
enough to gross me out to force good
habits on me!!

is this like chicken pox? everyone
gets chicken pox at least once.. then
it seems like never again!?

No warts anywhere on your body are not
like chicken pox. Because they grow on
the top layer of your skin, your immune
system can't detect them very well. So
though some people seem to clear
themselves of it, some never do (like
me) and I've hit 40. And with people
who clear it they may come
again...unlike chicken pox.

YY, how long have you had them?? What
stuff do you do to keep your immune
system up?? Eat lotsa
fruits/vegetables?? Excercise??
