Female: Most doctors would not test you for STDs if you do not specifically ask and not every doctor will test for every disease that is why you need to initiate the STD talk with your doctor. Ask what he or she usually screens for an STD test. A comprehensive test includes HIV, Herpes, Syphilis Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia. Women can also request an HPV test. Keep in mind that the two most common STDs Herpes and HPV are the two, which doctors test for with a least frequency. Most insurance plans will cover STD testing but it is also possible to obtain inexpensive or free test from government funded and independent testing clinics.
