ANS: B
PSA testing is recommended annually for men at increased risk for prostate cancer. This includes men with a family history or those of African-American descent. HPV testing would likely be ordered for patients with genital warts. This might not be necessary for this patient. Tests for HIV should be ordered for patients that belong to high-risk populations, including men who have sex with men, and all pregnant women. All sexually active men and women should have a VDRL and rapid plasma reagin performed.
