According to the CDC, at least 50% of sexually active men and women will get a genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. After a person has been infected by HPV, it may take one to three months (or longer in some cases) for warts to appear. Some people who have been infected never get warts.
The incubation period for HPV ranges from 1 to 6 months; however, latency periods of up to 3 years or more are suspected. The lesions are present for several months and usually regress spontaneously within two years, although some may persist indefinitely.
