Only women can be tested and/or vaccinated from HPV.
There are many different kinds of HPV.
It is very common and can be transmitted even when using condoms during sexual intercourse.
It can even be passed on through oral sex, and can lead to throat cancer.
Some variations have few/no symptoms while others can lead to genital warts.
The vaccine (for women only) can prevent the HPV virus from developing and resulting in symptoms and even cancer (if you have a mild form of HPV), and will prevent the acquisition of other forms of HPV.
If you are a guy and aren't sure whether you have it, the only way to confirm this, is to get your partner to get tested.

If you doctor orders conprehensive blood tests, there will no HPV performed. in fact, if you ask your doctor for an HPV blood test, your doctor will most likely tell you that no such test exists.
