There is no HPV treatment or cure for the virus. There is also no cure for genital warts. However, genital warts can be treated, either at home or at a doctor’s office.
The first course of action for many people with genital warts is topical medications. This type of treatment comes in either a gel or cream form and usually works by attacking and breaking down the wart tissue. Podophyllin is a particularly strong topical medication that needs to be applied at the doctor’s office. However, this is an older type of treatment and is not as widely used nowadays.
For those looking for some genital warts home treatment, you can ask your doctor to prescribe either podofilox (Condylox) or imiquimod (Aldara). Both of these topical medications you can apply yourself at home. However, if you are pregnant, it is not recommended that you use either podophyllin or podofilox as both can be absorbed by your skin and possibly cause birth defects in your child. Additionally, Aldara is designed to be used only on external genital warts.
It is also important to note that there is a difference between genital warts and regular warts. The strains of HPV that cause genital warts are different from those strains that cause warts on other parts of your body. Moreover, genital warts appear on areas of your body that are much more sensitive. Therefore, you should never use regular, over-the-counter wart treatments for genital warts.

I have HPV, and I only got one wart. They dr. said that sometimes it will clear completely on its own. It can sometimes cause warts but that's not the real issue. It can also cause cervical cancer. As far as I know the warts will come and go and there is no real treatment for them.
If you keep having abnormal paps they'll take a biopsy from your cervix, and you might have to get cryo (freezing the cervix) or the loop where they basically cut off the top layer off the cervix.

go to google... cllick on images and then look up Human Papilloma Virus and warts and it will show a bunch of pictures and a couple are information. It will tell you.
sorry for you
hope you get treated.
( i know that they can remove the warts but it really is no use because they grow back. Maybe not in the same place but they always grow back, you can get them frozen and fall off, burned off or cut off. >) i dont know about the hpv i think that it is just amedication to take daily to prevent brakouts and relieve painn from the bluisters.
