And about HPV, no! I don’t think men can be tested for it. Women are the ones who suffer a lot with that king of viru,s as it is the type of virus that can cause ovarian and cervical cancer. if you are worry that you got something from someone,  you should get tested for HIV and wear condoms to prevent HPV from spreading.
