There is no routine, approved HPV test for men in most cases
Ask a healthcare provider about an HPV-related exam if there are genital, anal, oral, or skin warts, sores, or other symptoms
If the person has receptive anal sex or is at higher risk, ask about anal HPV screening or anal Pap testing where available
If there are visible warts or suspicious lesions, a clinician can examine them and may diagnose HPV clinically
If a lesion looks unusual, a provider may take a biopsy
If there is concern about throat or mouth HPV, see a dentist, ENT specialist, or doctor for an exam
If either partner has a known HPV exposure, discuss testing and follow-up with a healthcare provider
Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections at the same time
Use condoms and dental dams to reduce risk
Get the HPV vaccine if eligible
