I know that there is discussion going on about whether or not we shoulld treat them.Many pts want rid of the blasted things. But I have some other questions to increase my knowledge base

As far as I understand it we cannot cure the hpv virus.Only the verrucae/warts that it produces. The viral infection is very contagious especially to the pt with them. They can spread on the body and can lay dormant etc. When conditions are right they produce new vp/warts.What I am unsure and would like clarification on is this.If the person has had vp and they have been eradicated .How big an area will be infected with the virus? is it localised to the areas where the warts where ? {ie.one vp plantar mpj now destroyed} will the virus spread along the skin to affect the entire body ? even if speedy resolution was acheived?, if so do we know any kind of time table for this to happen, or is it a per case situation ,which I expect it is.
Along the same line I know that we all have a great variety of eradication rates but ;are newly aquired vp more likely to have a quicker resolution than those that the pt has had for 'years and years'.?
Those pts that have several goes at home treatment or who give up tt when it gets bogged down, as the vp builds resistance to a particular tt will this produce new vp types in the way that in the same way that bacteria develops ways around AB's and develop superbugs.Can that happen with vp's and is that why there is no silver bullet for vp's and warts.
I know some will point out my ignorance showing through here but if you only ask about what you know you will never know any different.
Thanks for reading this
