The doctor visually examines the patient where there will be signs of reddish small lesions on skin or the fleshy cauliflower-like human papilloma virus (HPV). Appearance wise they may be single or be gathered in clusters. For men they appear around the penis, the scrotum or the anus. For women they appear on the cervix. This causes slight bleeding or might cause colored vaginal discharge. Sometimes warts itch, but they are painless most of the time.

Sometimes there will be no visual signs, so a genital warts test through a medical practioner becomes mandatory. The use of ascetic acid or vinegar on the genital area will indicate the presence. If there are any warts, the area turns white. This Genital wart test for women is effective only for outer areas. Sometimes an internal gynecological examination is carried at vagina, cervix and the anus to check hidden warts. Genital warts test of no visible symptoms is confirmed through Pap smear, which screens for the presence of abnormal cells on the cervix. If it is positive, the Pap smear test has to be regularly conducted till the confirmation of negative result of infection.

Women over 30 years can get a HPV test where the genetic information of the virus is looked into along with the Pap test. Another test is the colposcopic exam where ascetic acid is applied on the cervix and walls. If there is a difference in the shading, a special dye is spread on the affected areas. A sample of cells is taken in a swab which is sent for testing. For men, a routine anal pap test helps.

A medical practioner is the best person to consult to suggest the genital warts test method.
