A member asked:
Is there a way to test for hpv in males? is the hpv urine test an accurate test that should be taken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HPV testing in men: There is no reliable or recommended HPV test for males, with a few specific exceptions. In men who have had receptive anal sex with men, HPV testing can help judge anal cancer risk. For genital testing, researchers don't even agree on how to collect specimens or exactly where (urethra? head? shaft? scrotum? swab? sand paper?). Urine testing probably misses most infections. Don't waste your money.
