How long is it possible for human papilloma virus to remain in a human body?

Human papilloma virus (HPV) can remain in the body for many years, even decades, without causing any symptoms. In some cases, the virus can be cleared by the immune system within a few months to a couple of years. However, in some cases, the virus can persist and lead to the development of health problems such as warts, cervical cancer, and other types of cancer. It is important to note that HPV can be transmitted even when there are no visible symptoms present.

B: For 20 years
C: For life
D: For one week

The correct answer would be:

C: For life

HPV can persist in the body for life, even though the immune system may keep it in check without causing any noticeable symptoms.
