At this time there is no test to check men for HPV. Women get routinely checked at their gyno appointment. Here is more detailed HPV info from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

Here is another helpful link from the Center for Disease Control (CDC). It states that 50% of sexually active people will develop HPV at one point or another. One thing to remember is that HPV does not always lead to cancer.
