Are we ok

I've been with the same guy for 7 years. He was shot in 2002 long story short he had a stint in his penis to help his kidney, we relocated to Florida and when the stint was removed the doctor noticed a bump on the side of his penis, now I thought it was a mole but when the doctor took a look he stated it was a wart and  need to have it removed for it could cause me cancer. I've since been to the doctor and I have nothing wrong with me. He's had this since I can remember how can you tell  a wart from a mole every now and then I'll notice it's hard but that's about it.
is this a wart?????

it's black like a mole and has been there since he can remember. And it's not whitish at all.
is there a test he can take to see if it's some type of HPV

If it's a wart, HPV, the strains that cause warts and the strains that cause cancer are different.  At least that's true of the common HPV strains, I don't know about every single one (as there are many).

That said, a wart is usually whitish and with a distinct cauliflower shape.  If a doctor looked at it and said it's a wart, then most likely he's right.
