HPV: It would not be typical for a doctor to lie and tell a patient they had HPV or any other STD when they did not have it. Regardless, you can schedule a visit for an examination and pap smear. HPV can manifest as genital warts which the doctor could look for. They can also do a pap smear and see if it is present. HPV resolves in most cases in young women so it could have been there but not now
