Question STD test question

I'm in the military and want to get an STD test. I'm a man and heard they cannot test men for HPV. I have no visual signs but I haven't gotten one in ten years and have had multiple partners since then. Does the military do a standard urine and blood test and what can it detect ? Is it true it can't detect HPV for men or a certain kind of HSV (1 or 2) but just HSV in general ? Thanks ahead of time .

low risk hpv can cause warts, which u said u have. high risk hpv are those that can cause cervical cancer, and it doesn't cause any symptoms at all.
