There is no test for HPV in men and CDC and most experts (this includes me) do not recommend routine examination of the asymptomatic partners of persons with HPV infection.  If you see any wart-like bumps or other abnormalties of the skin of your penis, see a health care provider, but otherwise don't worry about it.  You can continue a normal sex life with your wife.  You don't say your age or the sexual circumstances, but if you are a monogamous couple, your wife undoubtedly has been infected for years and you have been repeatedly exposed and already infected.  You will never know whether she or you first brought the infection into the relationship, but it doesn't matter.  Most likely you have been infected and your immune system long ago eradicated your infection.

HPV infection is a complex and confusing problem, both because knowledge is evolving rapidly and partly because of conflicting information on the web and elsewhere.  But one bottom line is that getting genital HPV is normal--not desitable, but an expected and essentially unavoidable consequence of being sexually active.

It would be a good idea for your to read the information on a few reliable websites.  Three examples are my former health department (www.metrokc.gov/health/apu/std), CDC (www.cdc.gov/std), and the American Social Health Association (www.ashastd.org).

If you wife had HPV, and you has sex with her prior to her diagnosis, chances are you alreday have it. It's easy to contract because condoms don't protect against it.

There is no method of testing in men unless you have a genital wart. You can resume you normal sex life.

Thanks, doctor and scared for your fast replies. I'm 37, and as far as I know, my wife and I are monogamous. I don't have warts or other abnormalities around my genital area. So I should just forget about it and move on?

Yup.  You've got it right.
