Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own. Therefore, most infected persons are unaware they are infected. HPV infection do not develop into life threatening cervical cancer. 70% of HPV infections are gone in 1 year and 90% in 2 years. Almost all are gone after that and there is no real risk for life.

For most women, HPV infections eventually clear, with 90% of infections gone within 2 years of the original infection date. If the infection does not clear, but persists, there can exist the potential for more serious conditions brought on by HPV.http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv.htm5

First the good news: while infections by some types of HPV can develop into cancer a tiny fraction of the time, within a year 70% of cases clear on their own; within 2 years this goes up to 90%. HPV is also much more common than most people realize: about 75% of women are exposed to some form of genital HPV at some point, and never even know it.
Now the bad news: about 1 infection in 1400 will develop into cancer. Considering how common HPV is, that translates into about 12,000 newly diagnosed cancer cases per year in the US alone.
