If you want to match any text after HUMAN= and before |, you could do:

import re
res = re.search(r'\|HUMAN=(\w+?)\|', 'this is test results|HUMAN=Man|HM_LA=this is test results')
print(res.group(1))

Output

Man

If you want to match only words, do:

res = re.search(r'\|HUMAN=(\w+?)\|', 'this is test results|HUMAN=Man|HM_LA=this is test results')
print(res.group(1))

Output

Man

The \w matches Unicode word characters and the + means one or more times. See here for a detailed explanation of the last regex, and here for an introduction to regular expressions in Python.
