The diagnosis is usually made by examining scrapings from the warts under a darkfield microscope. If the warts are caused by HPV, they will turn white when a 5% solution of white vinegar is added. If the warts reappear, the doctor may order a biopsy to rule out cancer.

Typically by the external signs or blood. Obviously you can't see the virus, but external warts caused by HPV are VERY visible. If they look anything like these http://picturesofgenitalwarts.org/genital-warts-pictures/then you know you need to do something about it.
