Once HPV reaches the stratum basale to replicate, roughly how long would it be before the test results would show a positive result?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Human papillomavirus infection is a viral infection.

HPV invades into the innermost layer of the skin which is the stratum basale layer.

Once HPV reaches the stratum basale DNA of HPV also starts replicating and starts doing genetic mutation in the host as a result of this abnormal division of cells takes place and normal cell of the host become cancerous. 

There are different types of HPV viruses present. Depending on the type of virus we can estimate how much it would take time to test results becomes positive.

WE would diagnose the HPV virus with help of a pap smear or Papanicolaou test,  In this cell from the cervix is collected for the detection of cancerous cells in the cervix.

The second test is the HPV test .

Sometimes Warts may take only one month to eight months to develop, or many of the time Human papillomavirus remains an inactive form.
