Does HPV show up in a blood test?

I am a 26 year old female. I want to have a test done for HPV. Does HPV show up in a blood test?

No, unfortunately there is no swab or blood test for HPV. HPV shows in vulva, vagina, cervix, rectum, anus, penis, and scrotum. Also, can be seen in mouth and throat. The way to confirm the diagnosis is when you get genital warts. Thank you.
No, it does not.
