It's basically physically harmless, but it doesn't make sense not to test for it given how common it is and how easily transmitted it is. I wonder if they don't do it because so many people already have it.

It's a pretty big waste of money to test for things that 2/3rds of people have, that is ultimately physically harmless, and there is no cure for. Better to put it towards development of a vaccine ala HPV (Also something they do not test for for the same reasons).
