Great question: The answer will vary so you should always specifically ask. Usually this includes gonorrhea, chlamydia, hiv, syphilis and hepatitis b. I also include trichomoniasis and herpes 2 antibody testing. You can always request specific tests from your doctor. Great question.

STD screening: Chlamydia & gonorrhea if you are a sexually active woman, especially with multiple partners & condoms were not used. Same for men especially those who have sex with men. Screen for syphilis if "sore" is present. HPV test if female over age 30. HIV at least once & yearly if at risk (multiple partners, test +ve for Chlamydia or gonorrhea or IV drug user) Same for syphilis & hepatitis
