Assuming someone does not do anything it might require a few years to create resistance to HPV virus. If somebody takes the writer's advice, it requires just a couple of months to generate immunity to HPV. The longer a person is infected with HPV, the longer it can trigger cervical damage. Therefore it is preferred to create immunity so as to remove HPV virus when feasible.
