which symptoms are caused by skin receptors; where does the hpv lay dormant, or is it actively active and being fought by our immune system. I'm not sure what you mean by "which symptoms are caused by skin receptors". So I cannot answer that question.
HPV lies dormant within the nucleus of epithelial cells. It can be present as a tiny circular DNA molecule, or it can incorporate itself into the human genome.
The immune system is actively killing the raw virus itself, and infected epithelial cells that harbor HPV.
I found a site that gives more in depth information. see below
Great question! It is a virus that is transmitted through sexual intercourse. |
