There is no need for the HPV test, both of you can just go for the vaccination. In fact, this vaccine is gender-neutral, so both men and women can both go for the vaccination.

What STD screen should I go for after unprotected anal sex?
Unprotected anal sex is a very risky form of sexual intercourse. It puts you at higher risks for the different Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). You are also at a higher risk for HIV infection as compared to vaginal or oral sex. I would highly discourage you from taking part in unprotected anal sex. Please use a condom if you do want to engage in anal sex.
In cases of cryptic pregnancy, can women still have periods?
A cryptic pregnancy is one in which one does not know that they are pregnant until they are in labour. If the pregnancy is very smooth-going and no problems encountered, then there would not be any reason to experience bleeding during this time until the onset of spontaneous labour in which case the "show" (dislodging of the mucus plug from the cervical opening) would occur. If, however, there was an instance of threatened miscarriage, then there would be unexpected per vaginal bleeding and this may or may not be accompanied with pelvic pain.
