Yes it can be done: Pap test does not normally test for stds except for hpv virus as it is a screening test for cervical cancer.
But you can ask the doctors who are doing the pap test to check you for chlamydia and gonorrhea and the reason you want to be tested.

Depends: Check with your doc. Papa can detect many things but doc has to request them.

Dr. Dantin is right. Most labs will report them if positive. Being 100% honest, though, it IS a common thing for doctor to miss those other results when looking at report as they often only look for pap results. I would see your family medicine doctor or gynecologist if you are having symptoms. It's a good question.

A 18-year-old female asked:
How is it possible that i tested positive for chlamydia but my boyfriend tested negative? I had a pap and he did urine test.

Treat regardless: I think he should be treated even if he tested negative. Probably a poor sample. Assuming you two are intimate.
