A member asked:
Is there a way for a heterosexual male to determine if he has ever acquired hpv in his life in order to prevent passing it to future long term partners?

No such testing is available. But almost certainly you have HPV, so testing doesn't matter. Almost all men your have had HPV, and in many cases latent infection persists. Having HPV is a normal, expected, unavoidable aspect of human sex.
