Checked for HPV

I went to the doctors the day I noticed I had a wart. The doctor looked at it, and said it "looks" like a case of HPV, and he referred me to have a blood test done. My blood test came back negative, normal. Is there other ways to check for hpv?

When I found out I had bumps, I didn't have a blood test taken, my OB/GYN just treated it on the spot.

Blood test? Never heard of a blood test for men. There is no such test out there for men and HPV. I know this for a fact because both my doctors are teaching professors at the university and I asked them. My gyn/ob said if only there was...women would only want their men tested.
What blood test did the doc send you for? Other STDs perhaps? Only way they check on men is by visible inspections and by putting on a vinegar acetic wash.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
