Overall?: There is no test that picks up everything or even a few things. What does overall mean? Are you speaking of stds? All twelve of them? This is a very good example why being specific and asking follow up questions is vital when working with health care professionals. We should all know what the real risks are and know how to test and or prevent stds.

Hard to comment: Looking into all potential STD's would require a blood draw, a urine collection and or swab and possibly other studies. Since you have not detailed what your testing included it is difficult to say much more than the HPV was their main focus.
