ok duh, you go to the doctor!. but then what!? is it a blood test!? a scraping!? do they just ask you about any unusual symptoms or check you out!? i don't think they can test men for HPV, so how do they test women!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Not a blood test!. Your gynecologist has to take samples during a routine pelvic exam!. This is called a papsmear test!. If the results of the test come back negative, your doctor will have you get an colposcopy - which is when they look inside you with a camera closer to see if your cervical cells are abnormal!. They might take a biopsy (sample of your cervix to determine the whether your abnormality is low or high grade!.) If your test is abnormal 99 % of the time, you have HPV and depending on the cells; status, it will either go away on its own, or you have to be screened every 6 months for cervical cancer!.
Men can be tested - but they don't have any symptoms if they're carrying it!. Men will most likely have samples of their urethra checked for abnormal cells!. That is how it works!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most labs now do a routine HPV reflexology test in conjunction with your routine pap smear!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

probably a combination of scraping and blood workWww@Answer-Health@Com
