is there a hpv test for men
HPV testing is part of the NHS Cervical Screening Programme. If a womanâs cervical screening result shows changes in the cells of the cervix or mild abnormalities (called borderline change or low grade (dyskaryosis), an HPV test will be carried out. There is no blood test for HPV. In men, thereâs currently no reliable test for HPV infection and it's often very difficult to diagnose as there are no symptoms of high-risk HPV. Some people who are known to be at a high risk of having anal HPV and of developing anal cancer may be offered an anal smear.
