Near 100 % of sexually active adults have one or more HPV types, so you could just as well ask "Are you a virgin?" - which is a question that does not exist per se, but is part of the answer of a few others

Too similar to other questions

Right, and I want my ideal partner to to answer: no, they don't have an incurable STD. And I want to set the importance high.

I understand your confusion here. If someone is not interested in ever having sex, I could easily imagine them saying it doesn't matter what STDs their ideal partner has, because they will never expose themselves to them.

Did that make any more sense?
