I just saw the question regarding having HPV exposure in the throat. My partner got just for several sexual diseases before we get truly physical. He has had several partners in the year I have not been with anyone for 3 years. Two weeks ago I did have oral sex without fluid and now I am noticing that my throat is sore and under my jaw is swollen on one side. I realize that this is probably just freaking out. However, he told me that there is no HPV test for men is that true? Question.
