    viruses never go away. they just become dormant and that’s when the risk of infecting people is low. When i is active you get an outbreak.

    Yeah, the virus never goes away. The ones you froze off might go away but they will always come back in the future..

    Yes, you still have the virus, the body can fight off viruses on its own, but it takes years, and you also have to live a healthy lifestyle and avoid taking medicine for anything. 99% of people dint do this, and that is why viruses are “incurable”, when in fact they are.

    HPV/genital warts is a virus meaning there is no actual cure. you can freeze the warts off, but they may still come back. They could never come back as well, but just because they never come back doesn’t mean you no longer have the virus. Genital warts is also very contagious, just skin to skin contact can pass the virus. Unfortunately, it sounds like you are stuck with HPV. This isn’t that bad of an STD though, the symptoms can clear on their own…you just have to be careful and try not to spread it.
