My friend one reason HPV testing is not licensed for routine use with men relates to the traditional difficulty in getting a good cell sample from male genital skin, which is somewhat tougher and thicker than the covering of the cervix and not as likely to produce a good specimen for testing. Recent research studies have looked at ways of getting a better sample from men, such as using a fine-grade of sand paper to “exfoliate” the skin; yes, our reaction was the same as yours… No specific sampling method for males has yet to gain wide use.
