No: STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are tested with a cervical swab. HIV, hepatitis and syphilis are tested with a blood draw

You must ask for it: Routine urinalysis is basically a physical exam for your kidney function. It does not look for other issues. Some of the common STD's like chlamydia or gonorrhea can be tested in a urine specimen, but they require specialty testing materials, personnel time and a specific order from the physician.
