Urine culture: Is to determine if you have a urinary infection and if so what antibiotic is the bug sensitive to, it does not detect stds.

Urine C&S not 4 STDs: Urine culture and sensitivity is used to determine what bacteria, if any, growing in urine and which antibiotic(s) are most appropriate. This is not the way to test for stds. I have, however seen trichomonas in ua.
