Not in one go: There are many different types of STIs and each requires a different test. Some rely on culture and can be done any time after exposure, others are dependent on antibody production and may take weeks to months to provide diagnostic information. See your doctor and work out a schedule for tests. Visit this site for info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sexually-transmitted-diseases-stds/in-depth/std-testing/art-20046019

"STI screen": Testing can be done at any point. You should ask the male if he has had symptoms of irritation or urgency with urination, and any other contacts he may have had should be tested as well.
