HPV has been known to disappear on it's own in some instances but routine check-ups are beneficial (once a year). Since you have your diagnosis now, your physician will monitor if there are any suspicious growths and also watch for abnormal Pap Tests.
Remember, there are many different strands of HPV and you may not be a carrier of the one that causes cervical cancer. Cancer.gov suggests that there are over 100 strands of HPV. It is important to have any benign lesions and/or warts removed when they appear. Monitoring your own body will help in this instance as well.
Many strands will go away on their own while others may persist. For more information, please check the Cancer.gov website here http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/HPV.
