I went to the doctor last week and asked to get checked for std but they only took a vaginal swab. did they check for everything?

Maybe not all STDs: You'll need to check with the doctor's office exactly what tests were done. Almost certainly gonorrhea and chlamydia. A vaginal swab also can be used to test for vaginal infections like yeast, trichomonas, and bacterial vaginosis (BV). Possibly HPV, but usually only with pap smear. Syphilis and HIV require blood tests. (So does herpes, but herpes usually is not routinely included in STD testing.)
