Trust but clarify: These are routine tests. If you are paying out of pocket, it comes as a shock! ask your doctor to inform you about the reasons for these tests. If you know what the tests are for, you can decline what you think are not necessary. This will help you develop a trusting relationship with your doctor.

Yes: The tests are routine for women of reproductive age. It is routine to screen even monogamous women for std's because it can cause serious damage to the fallopian tubes which can cause infertility if she were to be infected unknowingly.
