HPV: There, unfortunately, is no blood test available yet. The only real tests can be done on tissue from cervical or anal pap smears.

Indirectly: HPV is a localized skin/tissue infection, not one that enters your blood.Transfer is skin to skin, not through blood contact.After an infection you will develop antibodies to the specific strain of HPV and those antibodies can be detected on specialized blood tests.
