Will I, a man in the US, successfully get an HPV test in the next month?

YES

I'm moderately motivated to, having recently had an exposure.

But: "there is currently no approved test for HPV in men" in the US.

But: there are plenty of studies on PubMed that talk about HPV testing for men like it's easy: just swab the penis instead of the cervix (1, 2, 3).

So: I'm motivated to seek out a doctor who's willing to do something slightly off the beaten path. My normal doctor is part of a big medical establishment with lots of words in the name, and he's not willing to. Thinking of trying some sort of Direct Primary Care system next.

I'm betting heavily NO on this market, to incentivize people to share information that will help the answer become YES!

You could just pretend you're a woman and buy an at home test kit and do it without a doctor, but even with a positive result you wouldn't do anything with that information, so it would be stupid to get. That's why your doctor refused. Why get a test to make you worried when you're not going to do anything with the results anyway?

predictedNO

Oh! An at-home test! I hadn't even thought of that, perfect.

even with a positive result you wouldn't do anything with that information

Would too! I'd avoid sex for many months while I wait for the infection to clear.

@OptimizationProcess then I guess get to ordering that test so I can get my mana back.
