Yes, your body can beat HPV, the virus responsible for cervical cancer. Just like you can get over other viruses, like the flu. Sometimes it becomes chronic, and that can lead to cancer.

Yes your immune system can fight it off and you won't be able to transmit it. I had hpv 4 yrs ago and this is what happened with me. my doctor explained it to me like when you get the chicken pox once your body gets rid of that virus you will never get it again. basically the hpv will lie dormant in your body and not do anything and you can't pass it on. However if for some reason soemthing happens to your immune system such as hiv then it could come back. the new vaccine gardisil protects against a4 strains of hpv (there are 30 sexually transmitted) the strains it covers are the ones that cause 90% of genital warts and 70% of cervical cancers. so even if you've been vaccinated you can still get another strain! i thought that once you had it it was for life too but it's not. i've done a lot of research on this and i've talked to many doctors and nurses about the virus. by the way 80% of people are exposed to it at some point in their lives.

A virus can not be totally removed from the body. No matter the strength of the immune system. The virus could go into remission, but can never truly be removed, however, the virus could return at any time if there is a lapse in the immune system (major surgery, some medicines, HIV-AIDS)

The weight thing will catch up with you in a few years, as you are still growing. I have inherited my mother's strong immune system and not my father's poor one. The combination of immunity genes you inherited from your parents will be the biggest factor in determining your immune system.

I have never heard of a body getting rid of the disease.

if you don't ever want to get it, then get the vaccine. if you don't have it already, you don't hafta worry about getting rid of it. it is a lifelong disease. maybe a miracle could get rid of it.

Only if you have a genetic mutation in your immune system.
