HPV: What if both Partners have it?

I've read that HPV can just leave your system. It talked about having a healthy immune system. Now if you and your partner have it are you supposed to abstain from passing back and forth?

If both partners have HPV are you able to have oral sex and are there health risk if both of you already have it?

Re: HPV: What if both Partners have it?

HPV is a virus. Once you have been exposed to it, your body maintains a record of having been exposed to it. Your body might fight the virus so it isn't doing damage, but it doesn't ever really go away. It is possible the virus can reactivate later in life. That means, there is no passing it back and forth. Once you are exposed to it, you have it.

Of course there are health risks. Low risk HPV can cause genital warts (in the vagina, on the vulva, on or in the penis, the anus, the rectum, the mouth/throat). High risk HPV can cause cellular changes to any of those organs. Unfortunately, women are more likely to experience cellular changes to their cervix at much higher rates than the other body parts.

You can retransmit the virus to someone else, but as for the person you may have gotten it from, once they've got it, they've got it.
