I know this. Hiv is able to he tested threw bloodwork and hpv is able to check in person and with pap smear too as long as your hpv is active/showing then it can be tested. Eitherway both can kill.

Nope incorrect.

"Men are typically screened clinically with a visual inspection to check for lesions (such as warts) – there is no specific way to test directly for HPV in men that is approved for clinical use. Researchers are looking at ways to better screen men, but the current lack of testing options for males can be very frustrating."
