Well, doctors are usually pretty correct when they DO diagnose HPV. So I would say you do have it. However, the biopsy will test to see whether you have high-risk or low-risk. There's no test for the virus itself if you have no symptoms. But if you have symptoms (and you do), then they can test it.
