Sorry, but no: There are not routine testing methods available for men to know their hpv status.

Yes & no: For the 2-4 strains that give genital warts, a male would surely freak out & find out what they are.However, that is the extent of their likely knowledge of the germ.The dozen or more higher risk strains rarely produce any findings in men that would push them to consult about it.Even the wart strains can be experienced & passed on to others without them having visible warts.
