Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Testing for STDs can be done while a woman is having her menstrual periods. There is no connection between any of the tests and menstrual bleeding and neither are the results affected by it. You may have to give a small sample of your blood. Please attend pre testing counseling if you have such a facility.
