How do you get tested for hpv?
Doctors do not normally test for HPV. Testing for high-risk subtypes of HPV is used as part of cervical cancer screening depending on the patient's age and health history. There is no benefit to testing for low-risk HPV subtypes, as infection with these is common and is normally cleared by the body. If you have bumps on your genitals, you can be examined and your health care provider will advise if you have genital warts.
If you have had normal pap smears should you get an hpv test?
Current recommendations are for women thirty and over to have a combination of Pap smear and HPV test. If both of these are normal, the next pap smear is due in five years. This strategy for screening decreases the number of false positives and false negatives. Talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation and history.

Do some viruses cause cancer?
HPV is widely accepted as a cause of certain types of cancers, including cervical and some throat cancers. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus. Not all HPV types are thought to be "high risk" types. A "high risk" HPV is more likely to lead to cancer if left untreated. Currently most pap tests also include an HPV test. It is important to know that HPV is very common, but cervical cancer rates remain relatively low in the United States. With proper follow up and treatment from a medical professional, the chances of getting cervical cancer are low, even if HPV positive.
If you had hpv could you still pass it on to your partner?
Not really. I suppose if that person then put their finger on their genitals they might run a risk. Genital warts prefer the skin on your gentials. They are not the same as the warts that might show up on your fingers and vice versa. You'll notice the skin on your hands is very different than the skin on your genitals. Next time you and your partner do this - make sure they have no cuts on their fingers, and have them wash their hands right afterward. Better yet, if you're really worried - ask them to wear a latex glove!
