I just did some searching on the site for this virus. I could not find the answers to the following questions:

When a person is diagnosed with oral cancer, it is standard procedure to test for the HPV? If so what type of test is it (blood)? Which doctor orders the test? (ent or oncologist). If anyone has the answers I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Tami
