I got diagnosed a couple of months ago and I have, luckily, very tiny warts. They're as small as a the tip of a sharpened pencil, not raised, and white in color. They are in little lines in my inner labia, when I get an outbreak. I've only been diagnosed a couple of months ago, but I kind of knew in my heart about 5 months ago that warts is what I have. My warts actually go away completely depending on my general health. When I first got the warts, I was underweight and sickly due to an inner ear disorder. As soon as I gained weight, started eating more, and taking a multivitamin, they went away. They went away completely during the past month or month and a half, and now a few are coming back because I had sex last week with my boyfriend who also has HPV. If my genitals get even the least bit irritated, such as due to having sex, I get a mild outbreak. In my case, I think I may never have even had an outbreak if I was in better health. I would've of course, still had the HPV, but I think it would've lay dormant. I can't say how long for sure that I've had HPV, but I noticed my first wart about 5 months ago. On top of some sort of treatment, general good health, good eating, sleeping, and exercising habits, and supplementation of a good multivitamin is great for "curing" of the warts. Also, I've read the folic acid helps. I hope any of that helped. Take care
