There's no general test to determine your HPV "status," so you can't go get tested. If you're a woman it would be a good idea to keep on schedule with your pap smears, but that's a good idea anyway. At least 70-80% of people contract HPV at some point in their life. Many people never develop symptoms and it's thought that most people's immune systems will eventually clear the virus. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned, but I would try to relax if I were you. There is no need at all to "freak out."

While some specialists in the field have experimented with testing for men, there is not a test available for men on the general market at this time. Men are not considered to be terribly at risk for complications due to HPV. There is a minimal risk of penile cancer from the oncogenic types of the virus, but this is *extremely rare* and there would be visible signs if that were the case (and usually does not occur until he is well past middle age). As long as your genitals remain visually the same, you should be fine. New lumps, bumps, sores, or other changes should be reported to a doctor for examination. While you are at minimal risk, men who have been exposed to HPV can still transmit it even though they remain asymptomatic. Transmission occurs with skin to skin contact. For this reason you will want to engage in safe sexual practices, especially if your current partner is immunocompromised, as she may not be able to effectively subvert the virus. In situations of long term monogamy, the decision lies with both partners. Though there is no way to determine if whether or not you carry the virus, it is always a good idea to discuss sex and the potential risks with your partner when entering into a serious relationship. All of this may sound pretty scary, but in reality HPV is about as ubiquitous as HSV1 these days (cold sores). Condoms will lessen your transmission risk, but they will not eliminate it.
