Closing the HPV Testing Gap Act

This bill directs the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the development of a standardized, noninvasive test for HPV (human papillomavirus) in men within 24 months. The study would review current research, look at testing methods such as oral, anal, penile, and urine testing, and assess the feasibility of pilot studies in different populations. NIH would set up an interagency working group with the FDA, CDC, Health Resources and Services Administration, and National Academy of Medicine. NIH would report its findings and recommendations to Congress within 30 months, using existing funds for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
