[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are "no tests for men" in that the medical establishment doesn't bother to offer any testing for men as part of routine health care. But men can indeed be swabbed to test for HPV and there is also a way to test for HPV via a urine sample. I remember reading about a clinic in California that did offer swab tests for men and I once found a mail order urine HPV test for men. It may be that they are not as accurate, but it would be better than nothing. I absolutely hate that men are the main vectors for HPV and the medical establishment lets the weight of disease and testing fall on women. Maybe if the rates of oral/throat cancer keep increasing in men medicine will eventually stop seeing HPV as a "women's problem."[/quote]

I know for a fact it exists. In dmv area. My ex boyfriend’s sister got him tested somehow she was a doctor. I recall it was urine culture . It can be PCR from swan or urine [/quote]

You are wrong. There is no HPV test for men. A urine culture contest for other things other STI’s but not HPV.

CDC evidence:

No, there is currently no approved test for HPV in men. CDC does not recommend routine testing (also called 'screening') for HPV in men

Guys there ARE hpv tests for men. They are used in studies about hpv. The problem is they aren’t commercially available.
