Hpv and Hiv testing are they the same test.?

As a healthcare provider I can tell you that they are very different tests for very different diseases. HIV is a bloodtest. HPV can only be tested in females and is usually done with a PAP test since it requires a vaginal /cervical swab. (And having HPV does not predispose you to a high risk of HIV. It predisposes you to a high risk of cervical cancer). We now have a great immunization against HPV........I'm trying to get as many girls to get it as I can.

No.

Different tests.

No! Very different indeed. One is for the 'human papilova virus', which is the usual cause of genital warts - very different to HIV!

nope verrrry different...
One is for warts and the other is to do with aids... although having hpv puts u at a greater risk of hiv
