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

Ah, I see. Thank you.

Alas, it is actually not the test that I want. I'm looking for a test that detects certain benign strains of HPV. Unfortunately, I have a record of being treated for HPV ~20 years ago and it's making obtaining the vaccine problematic. My health insurance won't pay for Gardisil unless it's proven that I'm not already infected. It's dumb, but that's insurance companies for you.

Ironically, I have several friends who could creat a test. Not that it would be accepted if they did.
