To find out if someone has HIV it has to be done thru a blood test. For HPV they can find it thru a pap smear.

blood test /assay is still the main mode for definitive confirmation although combinations of blood, oral, and urine-based is being used for pre-screening. i don't believe you can confirm hiv status via pap smear although many hiv-positive women present with abnormal pap smears...accordingly, they're advised to get pap smears around every 6mths.
