Really, there's nothing wrong with them having sex - just so their partners are aware of the risk.

Also, there are no HPV screening tests for men.
So while I agree with some of your points, I really don't think a card or test will address the issue. For one thing, if someone asked me to produce my card (or latest test results), to me that would just scream "This is just a hook-up. You are nothing but a sex object to me." At which point, if I did the traditional dating thing, I imagine I would get up and leave the table. For another, different people have different levels of understanding of what the risks are. So I would question what it means for their partners to be "aware of the risk". Do you just give them notice of your state of health or do you have a larger obligation than that to ensure they REALLY get it? Just giving men notice of my state of health struck me as wholly insufficient. They blithely climbed into bed with me anyway (and without a condom), apparently oblivious to the potential implications of sleeping with someone who was deathly ill with something doctors did not know how to effectively treat (or even really identify).
