Question:

I understand there is ongoing research being conducted for an HPV vaccine. Is the research limited to merely preventing the disease or is there work being done to eliminate the disease once one has already contracted it?

No, they are working on theGenital Wartsutic vaccines. Actually, the maker of Gardasil, the preventoive vaccine, is now working on a therapeutic vaccine, since the development of the preventive vaccine helped further the therapeutic study.
