PAP not a test for: Stds. Pap may pick up some stds like hpv, trichomonas, herpes etc, but this test is not designed to detect stds. There are specific tests for different stds and depending on the clinical circumstance, your doctor can order specific tests, which may include, blood tests, urine test, and culture.
