Hi there,

This is actually the present perfect tense. The past participle is used in conjunction with the auxiliary verb 'have'. The present perfect is used with
1. unfinished time eg I have eaten 4 cakes this week.
2. unfinished actions eg She has lived in Italy for 7 years
3. when we don't specify 'when' in the past eg Where have you been? (compare Where did you go last year?)


So to answer your query it's an active question.
Compare:
Have you been to Russia? - active
Have you been kissed? - passive

Hope that's not too confusing. I'm told that in the States this tense is rarely used.
