Hi,
Although there are several types of STDs most can be identified with blood tests or urethral swabs. HIV,Hep B,syphilis,gonorrhea,herpes, are some of the commonest stds.
There are blood tests available for all of them.All you have to do is mention to your doctor that you want to screen for them.
