From the same site where raeanna74 got her quote from:
"There is no "cure" for HPV infection, although in most women the infection goes away on its own. The treatments provided are directed to the changes in the skin or mucous membrane caused by HPV infection, such as warts and pre-cancerous changes in the cervix."
There is no cure - it may go away, but how do you know it's gone away? It's simple, it's similar to herpes virus that lays dormant under the skin. You can only test positive for it if you have visible signs. So how will you know? You could still transmit it to someone else, though it is rare if you have no visible signs any more.
That's why the new vaccine is useful.
Out of curiosity, how do you know for certain your HPV went away CaliLivChick?

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
