Doctors do not normally test for HPV. Testing for high-risk subtypes of HPV is used as part of cervical cancer screening depending on the patient's age and health history.

If you have bumps on your genitals, you can be examined and your health care provider will advise if you have genital warts.

Where do you get hpv?

HPV is passed on through genital contact-most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex. Since HPV usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV-and pass it on-without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.
